This is a cute little novella that was included in the collection of short stories: Get Lucky

It didn't blow me away or anything. It was a bit flat, but I didn't lose anything by reading it. Honestly, this novella was one of the only ones in Get Lucky that stood out to me because Kelly Oram is one of my favorite contemporary authors :)
I wouldn't say this is her best work; far from it.
But she really does have some magical books!
Definitely check out:

"Sixteen Kisses WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH"

This was so cute! I love Kelly Oram's writing. And even in a small dose of a novella, it was great!
Cassie was my type of girl! And her guy...
A teen cowboy cutie, Jared! 😍
When he finds out Cassie has never been kissed, he offers to be her first. But she turns him down, she doesn't want pity. Little does she know Jared has a plan up his sleeve! *swoon*
It's a great summer afternoon read for everyone!
Definitely recommend!

I would recommend this if you're just looking for a fast, adorable romance. And if you don't mind awkward kissing lol. ...more

This novella, Sixteen Kisses is exactly the reason why I love YA romance!

Sixteen Kisses, is about Cassie, who is complaining about turning 16 the next day without even experiencing her first kiss. She’s been complaining about it with her bff Selena when Jared, her big brother’s best friend came in and Selena being Selena told Jared about Cassie’s so-called “problem”. Once the two of them we’re alone in the room (because apparently, Selena and her brother Ben we’re playing “come and get me”) Jare ...more

This novella was highly enjoyable. A light and easy read about Cassie's sixteenth birthday, though the story really begins the day before her birthday. Jared, Cassie's older brother's best friend, finds out about Cass' inner turmoil over never having been kissed. Cassie wants what most of us girls crave for in our first kiss: for it to be real, passionate, swoon-worthy, etc. So Jared arranges a present for Cassie; he dares the guys at school to give her sixteen kisses for her birthday. We experi ...more
