 📖 I received a gifted e-book ARC. The following is my honest review✍🏻

Kiss Me, Maybe is a single POV romance about discovering your identity and embracing the way that grows and changes. Angela is an asexual lesbian and she’s finally ready to share that identity with the world. When a TikTok video goes viral she shares that she’s never dated, never been kissed. Her crush, a bisexual bartender named Krystal, helps her come up with an idea for a scavenger hunt that will help her meet like minded people and maybe get her first kiss in the process!

This was such a great read! It was my first book to read with an asexual main character, which I loved because it helped me feel seen, it was a layer of representation that o didn’t realize I was missing. I could identify a lot with Angela’s struggle to figure out her identity and, even though our experiences on the ace spec are different it’s very relatable. Definitely worth the read!

When a late bloomer goes viral for coming out, she decides to use her newfound fame to get her first kiss—with the help of a sexy bartender.

Librarian Angela Gutierrez has never been kissed. But after posting a video about her late bloomer status and ace identity, she's finally ready to get some firsts out of the way. Using her new influencer status to come up with a scavenger hunt idea in which the winner earns her first kiss, Angela realizes she may need some help to pull off the event. Enter Krystal Ramirez, hot bartender and Angela’s unrequited crush of five years. Despite vowing that romantic love isn’t for her, Krystal seems awfully determined to help Angela pull off the scavenger hunt and find true love.

There’s just one the connection between Angela and Krystal is getting stronger and stronger the more they hang out, until Angela isn’t sure she wants to go through with the scavenger hunt after all. But Krystal is convinced that she isn’t capable of love and before long, Angela realizes she's falling head over heels for a woman who may never love her back.
