I just LOVED these stories. They were funny and cute, but sometimes just downright awkward or gross. It just was fun to relive funny memories of first kisses (and be glad I am not there anymore!). The book is a compilation of authors writing a small story of a first kiss, or even a last first kiss (that one was sad). I think that really any girl would love this book, its just the cutest. Warning: I have to add this..or someone will be mad at me. Well almost all of the kisses, with the exception
With a title like that, I knew I'd be horrified by the actual stories. And I was. Let me give you a glimpse into this collection: In her bio, the editor "claims she had her first kiss at age 14 (but in reality it was dangerously close to her 15th birthday)". Dangerously close? As though a bomb was about to go off but she saved the day by locking lips with a guy just in the nick of time. Barf.And speaking of guys, almost all of the stories featured hetero kisses. Only 2 stories had gay boys and n...

I love nerds. I love all these authors. I love reading kisses. I love random facts. I love this book.
Super cute short stories of first kisses. Fun read!
His name was Mike. I was old-- 15 and 3/4, and dreading turning sweet-sixteen-and-never-been-kissed. I agreed to play spin the bottle, hoping no one would be able to guess at my inexperience. I almost instantly regretted not holding out for someone I truly and genuinely liked.Popular authors for teens reveal the stories of their first kisses - first kiss ever, first kiss with a new person, first LAST kiss at the end of a relationship...the memoirs, by the likes of Jon Scieszka, David Levithan, C...
Justine's was the grossest, Scott's was the funniest, but I loved David's best!
Reviewed by Me for TeensReadToo.comAuthor Cylin Busby has brought together some of young adult's funniest and most talented authors to reminisce about their real-life first kisses (or the second, or the third, or the twenty-fifth). In a collection that ranges from funny to bittersweet, from cringe-worthy to downright disgusting, this is one anthology that is guaranteed to have you laughing out loud.A slimy first kiss that wasn't even wanted, the breathless anticipation of a first kiss that never...
Dear Cylin Busby This book was a very humorous book. “First Kiss” is all about different people and their first kiss experiences. They are just so funny! It’s unbelievable some of the bad luck people have! These embarrassing stories can lift anyone’s spirit! My favorite story talks about a girl who goes to a kissing party. She had drunk and ate so many different things that she was completely full. Then this guy asked to kiss her, she was so happy that she forgot all about her full stomach and
There's pretty much something for everyone, whether your first kiss was recent, hasn't happened, or it's been more than a decade. Some stories play on your emotions, some gross you out,and some would probably inspire fears I never would have thought of on my own.
A collection of true first kiss stories.The idea of this book was very intriguing to me, I found it equally interesting that famous authors wouldn't mind sharing their personal experiences with the masses. Being the nosy person that I am, I was totally for hearing their stories. This book had a wide range of stories, some were grotesque, disgusting, sweet, pathetic, weird, sloppy, and all were unforgettable. I liked most of the stories, I thought that they portrayed reality instead of the fantas...
This book was pretty cute. It’s not my favorite thing I’ve ever read or anything, but it was just cute and fun and the perfect thing to read on Valentine’s Day. I think my favorite thing about this book was how each author had such a different perspective on how to answer the question of their first kiss. I mean there were stories and poems and comics and other stuff but more than that, their answers were so different. Some wrote about their actual first kiss, some wrote about their first kiss t...
It was all about some of the authors that had their 1st kiss.
Fist kiss(Then tell)is a collection of true lip-locked moments. It's a shor book of 212 pages, the book is edited by Cylin Busby. The book has 25 authors for teens telling the story of their first kiss. Some stories might make you cry, authers will make you laught. The stories are funny and cute, but sometimes it's awkward or gross. It just fun to relive funny memories of first kisses. I like and enjoyed read Fist Kiss(Then Tell) because I think one of the most interesting things about this boo
I read this book because Shannon Hale (a young adult author I really like--who is LDS and shares my birthday) has a small story in here where she and her husband share their first kiss.The book was kind of strange because really, do I want or even need to know the personal experiences of people I don't even know? How voyeristic is that? I felt a little odd about reading some of the stories (especially the homosexual first kisses--particularly the homosexual who loves all first kisses because of
Rating: C-Review: This is your typical short story collection. Some good, some bad, some redundant.My favorites were:-"Bad Reputation," by Cecil Castellucci (with implications regarding the influence of friends on the kissing dynamics);-"Yeah, I Know," by Jon Scieszka (a down-to-earth guy's perspective that tells it like it is... smelling rubberbands?); and-The she said/he said, "Our First Kiss (with each other)" by Shannon and Dean Hale.There were two other good stories, but (because they were
To find out whether or not this book is right for you, I've devised a simple test: just read the cover and the synopsis. Does the premise look interesting to you? If so, you'll probably like this book. Are you a fan of any of the authors listed on the cover? If so, you may or may not like this book, but you might as well read it anyway.If you're not a fan of any of the authors, however, and the book doesn't look good, don't bother reading it. This is not a book that rises above its premise, or e...
this book was so cute! my favorite was especially scott westerfeld's who decided to do a haiku:halfway to Biomy tongue tip glides the metaljust behind your lipsHILARIOUS! for a man wrote writes some good kissing in books, he had so little to say of his own first experience. some of the first time kissing accounts were mortifying and made me wonder how they werent traumatized for life. then some were really sweet, and some heartbreaking. made me reminiscent of mine...A Haiku:*clears throat*Hard t...
This book has to be one of the funniest books I've ever read. Even if you're not into the whole romance thing, this book is something I'd recommend reading!

However, First Kiss (Then Tell): A Collection of True Lip-Locked Moments is an innovative anthology that breaks down barriers. Along with short stories, it also has p...
