My book talk<\/strong>: After Mark dumps her, Veda knows that summer in their Michigan resort town will just be agony. So that she doesn’t rebound into another relationship, best friend Mel suggests that Vee smooth out the painful edges by kissing 26 boys – one for each letter of the alphabet.<\/p>\n

Top secret! Don’t tell anyone, especially their best friend Seth, who might be falling for Mel.
\nDon’t kiss the same guy twice! Only so many days of festivals and nights of lake beach parties before summer ends.
\nNo attachments! Easy as cherry pie, until quirky co-worker Killian is so charming and funny and all.<\/p>\n

Between Mel and Seth spending all their time working on music, Killian’s love for all things George Bernard Shaw, and her divorced parents’ weird dynamic, Veda still tries to keep it cool and kiss through 26 – will she make her goal with her friendships and dignity somewhat intact?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
