"The book is soo much better than the movie! They show Noah more caring and more open about his feelings towards Elle and Lee doesn’t act the same in the book as the movie, his character is way better in the book! "

"Eh, this was okay. I watched the movie years ago and I loved it. I remember liking Noah a lot in the movie but I found his character unlikable in the book. I thought he was a jerk and acted ridiculously. Don’t feel like I need to read the others. "

"Mediocre, with unlikable leads. Watch Dylan Is In Trouble’s YouTube commentary for a far more fun time than this movie."

"Noah isn’t remotely likable to me, he comes off as extremely moody/angry and a little controlling. I have no interest in reading the rest of the series. "

"Definitely a favorite of mine. I just wished I had watched the movie after reading the book. However, I enjoyed reading about Elle’s idea of having a Kissing Booth and FINALLY getting to kiss her crush, Noah despite him being her best friend, Lee’s brother. I give this book a 10/10."

"I read it and saw the movie but I think I liked the movie more. I just hated Noah in the book and the scenes of them together made me cringe. It’s not that the book is bad it’s just my opinion."

"<strong>Didn't meet my expectations</strong><br/><br/>Yes. I enjoyed this book. I won't deny that it is an enjoyable story. On the other hand, there were certain parts of the plot that left me with questions. I would recommend it to anyone 13+ who likes teen romance/drama, but it wasn't my favorite book. <br/><br/>I will say that after reading the "About the Author", I was very impressed. Beth Reekles was a teenager when she wrote this book, on Wattpad nonetheless, which for those of you who don't know, is a writing platform for beginning writers to publish their work to gain publicity. I was very surprised by both of these things when I found out so I just wanted to acknowledge that. <br/><br/>With those factors in mind, I think this book is impressive. But as a plot, it was very predictable so I didn't enjoy it that much. I think that my rating of three stars accurately depicts my feelings for this book. I hope if you do decide to read this book, you enjoy it more than I did."
