I kissed a girl – ARC Book Review

I Kissed a Girl: An LGBTQIA New Adult by [Jennet Alexander]

Can an up-and-coming horror actress
and the makeup artist for her newest “creature feature”
turn on-set chemistry into the romance of a lifetime?

Lilah Silver’s a young actress who dreams of climbing out of B-list stardom. She’s been cast as the lead in what could be her breakout performance…but if she wants to prove herself to everyone who ever doubted her, she’s going to need major help along the way.

Noa Birnbaum may be a brilliant makeup artist and special effects whiz-kid, but cracking into the union is more difficult than she imagined. Keeping everyone happy is a full-time job, and she’s already run ragged. And yet when the beautiful star she’s been secretly crushing on admits to fears of her own, Noa vows to do everything in her power to help Lilah shine like never before.

Long hours? Exhausting work? No problem. Together they can take the world by storm…but can the connection forged over long hours in the makeup chair ever hope to survive the glare of the spotlight?

Rating:- 2.5/5 stars

Lately I have been reading books based on LGBT genre and this book is one such book. The front cover is completely cute and attractive and since LGBT genres has now become one of my favorite genres, I decided to try this book out.

I thought the plot was good–both Lilah and Noa are Jews but one is bisexual and the other is openly lesbian. Lilah is closeted sort of and both have feelings towards each other. Lilah is an attractive actress while Noa is a makeup artist. The story mainly talks about how the friendship developed between the two girls which eventually led to romance. Another thing I liked about this book is it was a bit multicultural and the writing was good.

The cons of this book is it was wayyy too long. For such a cute love story between the two, I think there were some unnecessary parts in the book which is not relevant to the story. I found myself skipping some parts.

Overall, a cute romance novel that is worth 2.5 stars in my opinion. Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC. The review is based on my honest opinion only.
