Kiss and Break Up by Ella Fields
My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars

 

Ella Fields is back and this time with a YA/High School friends to lovers romance that had ALL the feels. I. Loved. Kiss & Break Up 💗💗💗💗

If you can’t kiss your best friend with no strings attached, who else can you kiss?

 

Ella Fields takes readers on an entirely new journey through the world of the angsty world of high school seniors Peggy and Dash. Long time best friends who make a dangerous decision to explore the ‘fringe’ benefits of their relationship. Promising one another not to catch feelings and realizing that you’ve loved that person all along and denied your feelings aren’t much of a stretch in this delicious slow burn novel that will have your stomach churning and your heart races. I thought the duel perspective romance was entertaining and fun—reminiscent of some of my favorite high school drama moments. The major plotlines might have been explored before, but the delivery is uniquely Ella Fields. I have spent the last two years reading everything I could possibly get my hands on by this author and she never disappoints. Her stories are completely consuming and Kiss and Break Up was no different. The excellent storytelling ability that I have become accustomed to is present as is one of my favorite character traits—an asshole alpha. **heavy sigh** Dash the very definition of an asshole alpha—growly, possessive, determined… delicious! His only soft spot, Peggy Sue, lifelong best friend and the one person he guards passionately. But when he realized that was because it was always her? Perfection! Pure Romance Gold!!! Now, Peggy—the heroine—is where this book became slightly dicey for me, although that is hard for me as admit as I desperately love Ella’s novels. Peggy was strong as hell and had no problem standing up to Dash—as much as he would listen—and yet is the more immature of the pair which I found surpriseing. It caused me to struggle a little with her character, which is a first for me when it comes to this particular author. Nevertheless, I couldn’t have put the story down if my life depended on it. I loved how much the tension between Peggy and Dash was amped up with each scene they shared, with each encounter that pushed them beyond the boundaries of those who were previously ‘strickly friends’… I particularly love how hot it made the slow burn of their romance. While sexy for sure, their romance is also sweet in the ways that only first time love can be. 4.5 EXCELLENT STORY STARS!!!!

Quotes:

…she’d fucking rejected me. Laughed at me. Then walked away from me. I was so pissed, so unexpectedly thrown by her response and the weird stabbing sensation that cut at the insides of my chest, that I’d climbed out her bedroom window and gone home before she even came back to her room.
—
I wasn’t sure how much longer I could take this. This feeling that ate and ate and ate at my chest, leaving nothing but bleeding need behind.
—
I didn’t know how I’d never seen it before, or when exactly it changed, but maybe that was why I’d shied away from anything that resembled commitment. Because it was supposed to be her all along. Peggy and Dash— more than just best friends.
—
A hidden truth unearthed. It was official. I’d fallen for my best friend, and she was breaking my black fucking heart.
