Publisher Description
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—in this "funny, smart, and spicy" romance (Abby Jimenez).
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 problem: 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.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This sweet sapphic romance from Gamez (The Next Best Fling) probes the nuances of love and desire. At 27, Angela Gutierrez has never been kissed. When a late-night fit of honesty sees her come out on TikTok as an asexual lesbian who's very ready for her first kiss, the response is not what she expected, especially from Krystal Ramirez, the gorgeous bartender she's had a crush on forever. Despite declaring that love is not for her, Krystal is eager to help Angela get the big romantic moment she's been dreaming of. Soon, she's orchestrating a TikTok-based scavenger hunt, with the prize being Angela's first kiss. Surely, Angela rationalizes, someone who would know her well enough to win will care about her enough to make the moment special. But as the plans progress, Angela realizes that her heart is more complicated than she thought—and it only wants the one woman who's already turned her down. The result is a surprisingly high-heat exploration of gray-asexual desire, complete with a realistic approach to the rewards and difficulties of being queer in the age of social media and a loving focus on the lives of queer Latinx Texans. Gamez's fans will be pleased.
