Wren Roland has never been kissed, but he wants that movie-perfect ending more than anything.

Everyone claims he's coasting on cinematic good looks and his father's connections, but Wren has always known there's much more to Derick than meets the eye. Too bad he doesn't feel the same way about the infamous almost-kiss that once rocked Wren's world. Whatever. Wren's no longer a closeted teenager; he can survive this. But as their hazy summer becomes consumed with a special project that may just save the struggling drive-in for good, Wren and Derick are drawn ever-closer...and maybe, finally, Wren's dream of a perfect-kiss-before-the-credits is within reach.

i don't know why i didn't like this more than i did. i liked the ideas and themes and didn't find the writing bad, but somehow it didn't fully click for me. (

Cute! Wren and Derick are so cute together. I found the ups and downs of their relationship are relatable.

DNF at 16%. Cute but I don't really think it's for me.

For most of the book, particularly the first half, these characters came across as 15 year olds rather than the stated 22. It started to get irritating.

That being said... I did love Alice! (

NOTE: I am a librarian and I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley.

The title drew me in, but the story made me stay. "Never Been Kissed" is a thoroughly sweet romance that anyone who has struggled in finding a relationship or even getting a date can relate to. Janovsky's portrayal of young love, with all of the anxiety surrounding college, family, friends, and career prospects, feels true-to-life. The subplots involving the drive-in movie theater and a reclusive film star of a bygone era kept me interested chapter after chapter. Movie lovers will see themselves in film buff Wren and appreciate his running commentary on the art form. (

Every perfect first kiss has three key elements:

*The right place—the senior prom, the lookout of a fairy-tale castle, the bed of a pickup truck on a beautifully starry night.
*The right moment—just as the Fourth of July fireworks build to a crescendo, during a moonlit slow dance, right after that first emotional "I love you."
*The right person—a young Leonardo DiCaprio (no exceptions).

Wren Roland has never been kissed, but he wants that movie-perfect ending more than anything. Feeling nostalgic on the eve of his birthday, he sends emails to all the boys he (ahem) loved before he came out. Morning brings the inevitable Oh God What Did I Do?, but he brushes that panic aside. Why stress about it? None of his could-have-beens are actually going to read the emails, much less respond. Right?

Everyone claims he's coasting on cinematic good looks and his father's connections, but Wren has always known there's much more to Derick than meets the eye. Too bad he doesn't feel the same way about the infamous almost-kiss that once rocked Wren's world.

Whatever. Wren's no longer a closeted teenager; he can survive this. But as their hazy summer becomes consumed with a special project that may just save the struggling drive-in for good, Wren and Derick are drawn ever-closer...and maybe, finally, Wren's dream of a perfect-kiss-before-the-credits is within reach.
