It’s senior year and Sara Lin just turned eighteen. She’s got great friends, a cool dad (or so he thinks), and a whole lot ahead of her. The last thing she needs is to worry about having her first kiss.
But that’s all about to change because her good pal Patrick just challenged her to a bet that will either lead to love, heartbreak, or embarrassment…or maybe all three.
Sara Lin understands that her first kiss is a rite of passage, one that she takes very seriously, even if everyone around her doesn’t. She wants it to be special–true love’s kiss–and wants to fall for someone she really cares about, not just get it over with.
Along the way, as Sarah explores her relationship options with three different boys, she discovers that life isn't a fairytale and romance is inherently complex. It's messy and complicated, but boy, it sure can be fun.

Hello Fellow Reader,
Based on a Webtoon, The Kiss Bet is a cute story about Sara Lin, an 18-year-old high school senior who has never been kissed. This leads her friend Patrick (Potential love interest #1) to make a bet to ask a random boy they see on the subway for a kiss. This ends badly, and this boy turns out to be Oliver (potential love interest #2), a junior at her school, her new calculus tutor, and the brother of her crush Joe (potential love interest #3).
Sara is a bit immature and forgetful, she can also seem very selfish which makes her somewhat unlikable. Oliver seems like he has a couple of issues regarding relationships, especially with his family, he's a grumpy goose who gets on Sara's bad side. I feel like I was more interested in the side characters like Sara's cool dad, her cousin, and a couple of others, so I hope eventually the comic fleshes them out more.
Overall, a fun high school comic.
