In Heather Truett's Kiss and Repeat, a teen uses the scientific method drilled into him by his scientist father to begin a kissing experiment. Only the experiment gets messy, and Stephen will have to come clean if he wants to win one girl's heart in this heartfelt and funny YA debut.

Stephen Luckie isn't so lucky in love. He's completely inexperienced when it comes to girls, and wonders if his tics - caused by Tourette's Syndrome – are the reason.

Then a game at a party reveals that his body goes still while kissing. Using the scientific method drilled into him by his scientist father, Steven begins the best experiment ever--one that involves kissing as many girls as possible. Who knew science could be so fun?

But when the experiment gets underway, Stephen begins to question how he treats girls - and if his tics have been standing in his way at all. With two girls interested in him, he has to figure out what really matters to him and what he'll risk - and gain - by being his true self.

Interesting POV

Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2021

This book was an interesting and enlightening read. I enjoy reading books from unique perspectives or points of view that I am not as familiar with. I’ve enjoyed watching television shows like Atypical or Sex Education with include neurodivergent characters. So, it was a treat to read the story from the perspective of Stephen who has Tourette syndrome. Being a teenage boy, in my own experience, is already pretty rough but having one’s natural awkwardness magnified is difficult terrain to manage. The story unfolds within the framework of a YA with boy meeting girls and the attendant life lessons. The characters are solid and relatable. I’d recommend it for anyone wanting to explore a voice they haven’t heard before.

Great Young Adult book

I got this book on someone’s recommendation. I didn’t have high expectations because I knew it was a young adult book and I’m not (a new adult)! But I pleasantly surprised at the emotions it evoked. All the angst of high school came back and I was thoroughly entertained.

This story was so nice to read with a neurodivergent main character! Stephen was totally relatable for me personally as a preacher’s kid myself. I enjoyed this fun experiment he went on and his growth. I highly recommend this book for anyone looking for a good read. You won’t be able to put it down!

A touch spiritual...a youthful vibe...energy and drama!! Enjoyed this!

Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2021

Witty, heartfelt and romantic, Heather Truett’s Kiss and Repeat is a fun YA read that is immensely enjoyable.

Stephen doesn’t have much luck in the romance department – even if his surname happens to be Luckie! Not only is he completely inexperienced, but as he has Tourette’s syndrome, he cannot help but wonder whether his tics might be the reason why most girls will not give him the time of day. Stephen would love nothing more than for his luck to change, but so far everything looks hopeless – until a game at a party reveals that his body goes completely still when somebody kisses him!

With his scientist father’s method drilled into his head, Stephens decides to begin this experiment and testing this hypothesis by kissing as many girls as he possibly can. If somebody had told him that science could be this much fun, he would have paid more attention in class! Stephen thinks he now has the art of kissing down to an art form, but just how is he treating all the girls who are taking part in this experiment? Stephen had always believed that this tics were standing in the way of his romantic success, but with two girls interested in him, will he finally find the courage to be his truest self? Or will he continue to hide behind science?

Heather Truett has a very engaging writing style that draws readers in from the very beginning. Written with plenty of flair, humor and charm, Kiss and Repeat is a enjoyable tale about stepping out of the shadows, believing in yourself and taking a chance on the unknown that touches the heart and will make readers giggle.

Heather Truett’s characters are wonderfully sketched and very believable and they will have readers cheering them on to get their happy ending.

A brilliant read guaranteed to give readers all the feels, Kiss and Repeat heralds the arrival of a terrific writer to watch out for in YA fiction: Heather Truett.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2021

This is a wonderful book about a teen boy with Tourette syndrome (TS) whose tics are a part of his every day life, but does not let them stop him from engaging in all the regular teen activities. He has friends, goes to parties, and works at his church. And just like all teens, he is looking for his first kiss and first love but is afraid the TS is scaring girls away. When his best friend suggests an experiment, he reluctantly agrees.

This is such a great story. It gives the reader a realistic view of what it's like to live with TS and how Stephen, the main character, deals with it and doesn't let it run his life. He has an optimistic attitude that is infectious. But mostly, this book is about teens, how things are not always what they seem, and that everyone is striving for similar goals. I recommend this for everyone!

This is a wonderfully original book about neuro divergent kids. It is well written and engaging as well as educational.
