The Last Best Kiss

Three years ago, Anna Eliot broke the heart of the only guy she ever truly liked, and then he moved away and she never saw him again. Now it’s senior year, and Finn Westbrook is back in town, and it’s apparent he never forgave her. Anna tries to pretend she doesn’t care, that she’s over him, that she’s okay with him dating one of her best friends, but deep down she’s really not. They’ve both changed, and Anna wants a second chance to prove it. But is Finn ready to believe it?

The Last Best Kiss is one of those novels that you’ll want to stay up past your bedtime to finish; I certainly stayed up late because I just couldn’t wait to see what happened next! Claire LaZebnik has done an admirable job recreating high school in all of its drama-filled, angsty glory. Teenagers will love Anna and all of her friends; they are sure to see themselves in here somewhere. And even if we all have an idea of what the end of this book will be like, readers will enjoy every page of the journey there; you’ll be rooting for Anna and Finn the whole way.
