The Kiss Bet #2
The Kiss Bet Volume Two: A WEBTOON Unscrolled Graphic Novel
In this adorable coming-of-age comic for fans of This One Summer by Mariko Tamaki and Jillian Tamaki and Rainbow Rowell’s Pumpkinheads, Sara Lin has decided now is the time: she’s going to make her first kiss, something special and magical, happen.
It’s senior year and Sara Lin just turned eighteen. She’s got great friends, a cool dad (or so he thinks), and a whole lot ahead of her. The last thing she needs to worry about is her first kiss.
But that’s all about to change because her good pal Patrick just challenged her to a bet that will either lead to love, heartbreak, or embarrassment . . . or maybe all three. Along the way, as Sara explores her relationship options with three different boys, she discovers life isn't a fairytale and romance is inherently complex. It's messy and complicated, but boy, it sure can be fun.
In this second volume of the series, Sara Lin might have lost all her romance-related bets with her friend Patrick so far, but she’s determined to make something happen with her crush Joe at the upcoming school festival. First she has to pass her math exam, which means dealing with her tutor, Oliver, who instantly recognizes Sarah from their almost kiss at the subway. And Patrick’s not quite done, he challenges Sara to the highest-stake bet yet: kiss someone by the end of the festival or be forced to quit the newspaper club. And Sara understands that some lessons can’t be taught, and that life must be experienced.
Then Patrick challenges Sara Lin to his highest-stakes bet yet: have her first kiss by the end of the festival or quit the newspaper club.
This volume collects episodes 19 to 36 of the charming WEBTOON comic The Kiss Bet.

High school romance fans, who love sweet moments with confusion, are going to want to grab this one up right away and enjoy.
Sara's unsure about everything. Oliver, her tutor, knows she was the one who tried to kiss him in the subway, and now, he's upset. Which isn't great. since he helped her grades, but she's got a back-up plan on the tutoring front, her best friend Patrick (who also started the kiss bet in the first place). But the tutoring session doesn't go well and her next test produces the worst score yet, so she turns to her secret crush for help...who just happens to be Oliver's older brother. Her secret crush is perfect in so many ways, and he might just be as interested in her as she is in him. But Patrick causes issues again and makes another kiss bet—she needs to kiss a guy by the end of the evening of the festival or quit her favorite club. As soon as she lets her temper get the better of her and agrees, it becomes clear that this new bet might be her doom. After all, she already lost the first one.
The blurb states that this is an adorable read, and it's right. These pages hold high school, romance drama pure with silliness and misunderstandings to make every moment unpredictable and ridiculous. Sara is super sweet and friendly but constantly blunders from one situation into the next. She's a bit clueless but determined, and it makes her easy to root for while rolling the eyes at her at the same time. Somehow, none of this is frustrating but remains funny. Plus, her good nature makes her sympathetic...even when she's misguided in other respects. The other characters appear more grounded, but are clueless in their own ways and round off each moment with accidental and unplanned blunders.
It's a very easy read without a ton of depth, but then, it is more about the humor and awkwardness than anything else. Even the romance isn't straight-forward and overly heartfelt. Rather, it's all over the place...much like Sara herself. It's very unclear, who Sara will end up with...or if she'll end up with anyone at all. And this makes it that much more fun to read.
I'm already looking forward to seeing what silliness is still to come.

Mini Book Review: Thank you SO much to Webtoon/Wattpad for the complimentary copy of this book!
This book is out now!
I read the first one last month and enjoyed it even though Sara Lin wasn't my fave. But I'd like to say I found myself enjoying this one even more and I imagine the next one will be even better. This one picks up right when the last one left off and my goodness if you like teenage love triangles (or maybe even a love square? or a poly love triangle) this one could be for you. As with most teenagers, they all have crushes on each other. And poor Sara Lin has swoony feelings on 3 young men - brothers Joe and Oliver and even a little on her best friend Patrick. In this one, we do get to see how Patrick and her became friends and how things became complicated.
One thing I love about this is that it does have a lot of that nostaglia for awkwardness and the complicated feelings on crushes and especially in this case when your best friends with the opposite sex. I find these two books have made me laugh and smile and you have people who you are rooting for. At this point I don't know who I want Sara Lin to end up with especially with how this one ends. I'm looking forward to see how the next one picks up and how Sara Lin reacts to what happened (trying to be vague).
If you are looking for a quick, easy graphic novel to binge - check out this series!

It’s senior year for Sara Lin and she’s just turned eighteen. She’s got a good life for a teenager with good friends, a dad that tries to be cooler than he is, and a whole future ahead of her. The last thing she needs to be worrying about is her first kiss. But that’s all about to change, because her good friend Patrick just challenged her to a bet that will lead to love, heartbreak, or embarrassment… or perhaps all three.
This is the second volume of the series, where Sara Lin has currently lost all her romance-related bets with her friend Patrick. But she’s determined to make it happen with her crush Joe, though she’s having odd feelings for both her best friend and Joe’s brother (who is her own age). Sara Lin makes the ultimate bet this time, to get that first kiss or quit the newspaper club that she loves so much… and do it before the end of the festival.
This volume collects episodes 19 to 36 from the original WebToons comic The Kiss Bet.
Knowing that this was going to be the continuation of Sara Lin’s high school adventures, I went into it with a lot less expectation for a deep enlightenment for the characters. There was good character growth, a lot of funny moments, and good graphics. Overall, it’s a well done comic that I’d recommend to anyone who is looking for a lighthearted, quick read.

Volume two of he webcomic The Kiss Bet.
This volume contains episodes 19 to 36.
In volume two Sara Lin is a 18 year old high school senior. Sara Lin is still struggling with her math studies and is in need of a tutor and is trying to get her grades up so she can stay in the Newspaper club.
Sara Lin might have lost the subway kiss bet with her friend Patrick, but he has made another kiss bet with her. This time with her crush Joe at the upcoming school festival. However, in order to go to the school festival, she has to pass her math exam. This means she has to , the kicker is her tutor is Oliver, who instantly recognizes Sarah from their almost kiss at the subway. The only thing that makes it even more awkward, is Oliver is Joes younger brother.
This fall fest will be even more surprises than we could see coming. Will Sara Lin get her first kiss or will she have to quit the news paper club?
You teen romance is confusing and the last few episodes of this volume will demonstrate just how confusing romance can really be.
We get more character development with our main characters and the plot really starts to thicken. The end had hoping that misunderstandings get worked out and maybe some real feelings are communicated.
I cant see what Sara Lin is in for in volume three!

YAY for Volume Two coming soon! 🩷 I've been following The Kiss Bet on WEBTOON for over a year now, and I’m so excited that Volume 2 is coming later this year! For me, this is where the story really starts to come into its own—there's more emotional depth, more character growth, and the beginnings of that signature slow burn that defines the series.
While Volumes 1 and 2 still read as a little immature on this re-read, they do a great job laying the foundation for what’s to come. You start to see hints of future storylines taking shape, and more of the charming side characters begin to shine. Their POVs and arcs play a much bigger role from this point forward, which is one of my favorite things about the series!
The art remains one of the standout elements for me. It’s bright, expressive, and full of fun little doodles that add to the charm. It’s what first pulled me into the series, and I still love it.
The Kiss Bet is the ultimate slow burn. It can definitely test your patience, but the pacing makes sense for the characters and their backstories. These early volumes are essential in establishing all of that!
Huge thanks to WEBTOON and the author, Ingrid Ochoa for the ARC of Volume 2! I can’t wait to keep reading 💕

Thank you Netgalley for an early release ARC of this volume. No seriously, THANK YOU 😭😭😭😭😭 I was so excited when I received this copy I literally screamed a cheer.
I love this series so much. I was really living for the love triangle the first volume ended on but now it's become a complex web and I am at the center of it as a helpless fly here for the ride. I am at your mercy Ingrid Ochoa 😭🙏🏻 this volume was so good, it had me squealing and kicking my feet like a lovesick teenager. The illustrations are so well done and I love the mix of classic drawing style and chibi art. Oliver got some more character development in this volume as well, it's nice to see Mr. Grumpy have a bit more personality. I was really shipping them but I've officially become a die hard fangirl for Patrick. I love my goofy king 😭❤️ Ingrid, if you're reading this... That ending was devious. I fell out of MY Chair. I need vol. 3 NOWWW!!!! 😭
Thank you again Netgalley for an early release ARC. 5/5 ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ vol. 2 releases August 2025. I can't wait for everyone to enjoy this as much as I did. Xoxo

As soon as I finished Volume 1 of the Kiss Bet, I NEEDED Volume 2 immediately. Thank you so much to Netgalley and WEBTOON UNSCROLLED for this E-ARC! I absolutely love love love this art style - It is sooo cute! I think this book is perfect for highschoolers. There's just enough tension to hold their attention, but nothing too inappropriate! I feel like in this volume we got to spend even more time with our side characters and getting to know their personalities.
One Sentence Summary - The second installment of the Kiss Bet raises the stakes even more, when Sara Lin and Patrick bet (again) and the consequences of said actions.
My only complaint is that The Kiss Bet volume 2 is not long enough and ends on yet another cliffhanger!! Oliver might be my favorite character! I would recommend this book to folks who love cutest, teenage love stories, people who don't mind cliffhangers, graphic novel lovers, and girlies who love several adorable male characters!

THE KISS BET Volume 2 has everything - drama, angst, sweetness, and so much cuteness!
Sara Lin is still in search of her first kiss. But she's got to navigate mean girls, math exams, and a best friend giving all the mixed signals. She's really going through it as she chases that perfect high school life.
I loved how we get introduced to the full picture of who Sara Lin is through her interactions with the large vast. How she meets Patrick. Her close friendship with cousin Vicky. A sweetly weird relationship with her dad. A very defensive reaction to math tutor Oliver. And a determination when it comes to kissing Joe Yang.
This volume makes me excited for what comes next for Sara Lin. Especially after THAT ending! It was so good even of it shocked me!!!
Thank you Netgalley and Webtoon Unscrolled for the advance digital copy to read and review.

Sara Lin is back, and mission: 'have her first kiss' is still incomplete. The Kiss Bet Volume Two brings back the young adult antics and complex boy 'friend' dynamics. She is continuing to accept kiss bets from her best friend Patrick, and as she continues to miss every deadline, she begins to question if her thoughts of a first kiss being special are worth it. I love all the boy options (Joe, Patrick, and Oliver) that inadvertently present themselves as Sara Lin is determined to check first kiss off her to-do list. Such a good story to get wrapped up in. With each volume, I swear I am rooting for my fave guy. Readers will have to pick their jaws off the floor when they get to the last few pages and bite their nails as they anxiously await for what's to come!

I can't let you lose this bet!
This story is so so fun! I was immediately invested in the continuation of Sara Lin's complicated and endlessly entertaining world. The narrative really starts to come into its own in volume two. The characters are developed more, personalities more defined and backgrounds delved into in a deeper way. The intertwining of all of the most important people in Sara Lin's world is done so effortlessly. Well, it feels seamless to us, but it does understandably stress her out! I love the subtlety in the art. It's expressive and vibrant to look at, but the microexpressions are perfect attention grabbers. With the state of that dramatic cliffhanger, I cannot wait until volume 3 releases!

I read this story on Webtoon a while ago and I absolutely loved it!! The Kiss Bet, Vol. 2 starts off right where the last volume ended and this is really where the story starts to ramp up. There is a lot of high school drama, zany side characters, and a surprise possible like/love triangle? I truly love how each of the characters are growing and a lot of the future storylines are slowly starting to unravel. What stood out to me the most though was Ingrid Ochoa's art style. It was so bright and vibrant with a whole lot of personality!
Even though I read this several years ago the ending still shocked me! I could not stop my jaw from dropping! I really can't wait to read the next volume.
Thank you Ingrid Ochoa, and WEBTOON Unscrolled for the gifted copy!

Thanks NetGalley for the ARC!
Such another cute volume! I forgot how many miscommunications happen when you're young and how out of hand it can get which is reflected in the graphics when they turn into more simple characters throwing fits and I just love it! Its a great way for the artist to show their emotions which teens are full of. Its heartwarming and funny so go read it!
Sara Lin has found herself in another bet with Patrick and everyone seems to be confused on who likes who and are too shy to share their feelings. Sara may have made a mistake this time because if she loses she may still not be kissed but also lose the newspaper club and she still needs a tutor.
Not patiently waiting for volume 3...

In this sophomore entry, Sara Lin who has never been kissed tries to resolve the “kiss bet” issue she had with her former tutor Oliver in the previous graphic novel. Oliver being the brother of Sara’s crush Joe (and the rest of the high school class), makes it even more difficult. Sara’s BFF Patrick, with whom she had the first kiss bet, wagers another kiss bet that she must have her first kiss before the night’s end of the school festival. Sara is banking that it will be with Joe. But will it? With her nemesis and mean girl Rose, the odds are again Sara.
With lots of crushes going on between the characters, this continues to be a light-hearted romantic YA graphic novel without any over-the-top meanness, cursing or vulgarity. It is truly very sweet and cute. I love it as much as Volume One! I cannot wait until the next volume – after all it can’t be left with this cliffhanger.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a review copy.

I was SO EXCITED to be approved to be a reviewer for this. Why? Because the first book was soooo cute! Honestly the art is adorable and the characters are so relatable, and this second book did not disappoint. I read it the same day I received it all in one sitting because I couldn’t put it down. The cliffhanger at the end…. !!!!! (Don’t want to spoil too much) Over all if you want a super cute YA romance Webtoon with super relatable characters and gorgeous artwork, this is a wonderful series. I find myself rooting for so many of the characters and side characters in their goals, not just the main character, Sara Lin. That’s how well written the character profiles are! A job well done to this author and thank you Wattpad/Webtoon for letting me share my opinions on this new release!

I remember reading this on Webtoon years ago, but I never caught up to Volume 2, thankfully! Sara Lin is a bit childish, but who wasn’t in high school? Now, this volume narrows down her love interests to just two, and I’m so excited to see who she’ll end up with by the end of the story. You start to see other characters getting their own story and more. The pacing is picking up, and you can really see each character's growth and evolving feelings.
I'm dying for the next book and am rooting for Oliver!

These books are so ridiculous but they’re so cute. The thought of a first kiss, the first love, who likes who, who doesn’t, and all the tastefully ridiculous drama. It’s a type of romance novel, that’s perfect for middle grade and YA and just leaves you wanting the next volume. Sarah is completely ridiculous and very much boy crazy. Subway boy is adorable in his teen angst. Joe is the good-natured best friend that all the girls have a crush on. And Patrick is the class clown who you want to smack but sometimes maybe you want to kiss. All in all this is an ensemble group of characters That bring a ridiculous but fun story to the pages for all readers.

Thank you to Webtoon and NetGalley for sending me a copy to read and enjoy.
This volume started right where volume one ended right on the cliffhanger and it ended on another kind of cliffhanger. Sara Lin is back at it with another bet that she is trying to fill and trying to juggle all of the boys in her life. I’m personally team Oliver but I don’t think that will happen with the way it ended. This was another easy and fast paced read. The artwork is amazing. I’d read anything by this author.
I would absolutely recommend this series.

This was such a cute addition! I loved getting to see flashbacks on how Sara and Patrick met. Honestly, at this point, idk who to even ship anymore. What I do know though, is I am 100% rooting for Vicky and Joe! It was also cute getting to see all of the little signs that Oliver likes Sara (he kept the sticker!!!!! IYKYK). My heart absolutely broke towards the end for Sara. The cliffhanger has left me desperately needing the next edition!
Thank you NetGalley and Wattpad Books for the free digital copy! All thoughts are my own.

I love this comic so much, and volume two builds on the characters even more.
We get the history of Sara Lin and Patrick's friendship, Patrick being an idiot, Oliver showing that he can be open and kind, and some surprise revelations from side characters that are going to redirect Sara Lin's path to not only her first kiss, but also finding herself and her happiness.
I know the next volume is going to be a little more angsty, but this one ends on such a fever pitch of different directions I can't wait to read it again.

This book was given to me by the publisher in exchange for an honest review. I already read The Kiss bet on webtoons and fell in love with the cute story and Ingrid Ochoa's distinctive art. I am so happy that it was picked up and published as a graphic novel. The publishing edition is exactly the same as what was put out on webtoons as far as I can tell, with no additional content. But regardless, this remains a stupidly cute series with beautiful art and I will keep re-reading and buying each volume as it comes out!

Sara Lin is funny and a bit dramatic like typical girls she really said "I'm going to die a virgin lips" I think it's cute how she's always blushing. And I was glad she told oliver about the Kiss Bet from the subway. That festival night was chaos full of confessions and another kissing bet, oh my gawd that ending and i can't believe her first kiss was stolen. I'm excited for the next volume. Also the art is super cute.

The Kiss Bet Volume 2 is another super cute YA romance graphic novel. This one picks up right where the first book left off, and was a really fun read! I liked that all of the characters got a little more depth in this book. Patrick especially grew on me and had a super fun role! This is definitely a fun one if you want a romance without a lot of extra plot. Thanks to Ingrid Ochoa, Webtoon, and NetGalley! My opinions are my own!

I thought this was super cute! It was a fast read and would be perfect for young adults! You most definitely have to read Volume 1 first as both Volume 1 & 2 leave off with cliffhangers! I'm excited to see what the author has in store for Sara Lin in Volume 3!
Thank you NetGalley, Ingrid Ochoa, and Wattpad Webtoon Book Group for an early copy in exchange for a review.
