ARC Review- The International Kissing Club

Piper, Cassidy, Mei, and Izzy have been best friends their whole lives. And they've always agreed on one goal: to get out of tiny Paris, Texas, and see the world. The school's foreign exchange program seems like the perfect escape: Piper will go to the original Paris; Mei will go to China; Cassidy will go to Australia; and Izzy, unable to afford the program, will stay at home. To add spice to their semester away, and to stay connected to their best friends, the girls start The International Kissing Club, a Facebook page where they can anonymously update one another and brag about all the amazing guys they're meeting. After all, these girls are traveling abroad: amazing guys abound at every turn! But sometimes fun, flirty vacation flings turn into more serious romances, and sometimes you don't return from abroad the same person you were. Will the girls' relationships-and their friendships-be able to survive?

My Review:
This books is SO MUCH fun, you guys.
Seriously. I have the pleasure of being in TEEN SHIVER with the author, Ivy Adams (AKA Tracy Deebs) and she's just as awesome as the book!

• First of all, the cover. It's really cute. It shows the whimsy of what's inside the actual pages.
• I have to say that this concept is hilarious to me. Girls that go around the world and track how many boys they kiss. If i was a slut, I might do that. Lol. But seriously, the girls are all great characters. They're deep, unique, and all just trying to figure out what is best for them in life. I could really relate to Cassidy in particular, because she is sporty and fun and at times reminded me of myself.
• This book has a Sister Hood of the Travelling Pants feel, but I think it's way more fun. It's got snark and a bit more of a punch. As someone who doesn't typically read light-hearted books like this, I was pleasantly surprised!
•  Each character has their own life, their own drama, and the author pulled that off very well. I love how when you start the story, everyone seems to be in the stage of discovering who they are, what they want in life, but towards the end, they've all got it figured out. (In the way that teens can, which is the best they can do for now.)
• The Facebook club was funny, the different settings were awesome, and you get to actually feel like you're on a vacation. (especially if you're like me, and don't have the money to go on a 10-week vacation somewhere totally awesome). 
• If you want a FUN read that you can pick up and enjoy, without getting too deep into the drama, then I would definitely suggest this one! Every girl can find something they can relate to in this one, whether it is the wide range of characters, the settings, (I am from Texas, and the author did a rockin' job of making me feel at home while reading parts of it!), or the descriptive language. It's just a light, super enjoyable read that I think will go far in contemporary YA!
