Six Times We Almost Kissed (And One Time We Did)

£8.99

Penny and Tate clash. Their mothers have an epic friendship that’s spanned decades, deaths and divorces. So, since they were toddlers, the girls have always been a reluctant, quarrelling twosome. But when a medical event forces their moms to move in together, Penny and Tate call a truce. There’s just one little hitch: Penny and Tate keep almost kissing. It just happens. They’ve never talked about it. They’ve always ignored each other after. But now, the girls find themselves living across the landing from each other. And when an almost kiss finally goes from almost to I am now wearing your lip gloss, they have to face the music – right?

Description

Six fun facts about PENNY and TATE:

1. They’ve known each other their whole lives
2. Their moms are best friends
3. They are DEFINITELY NOT friends
4. They keep almost kissing
5. They don’t talk about it
6. Thanks to their moms, they’re moving in together …

But when an almost-kiss goes from almost to I am now wearing your lip gloss, Penny and Tate have no choice but to finally face the music … right?

An utterly compelling will-they-won’t-they slow-burn queer romance from the author of THE GIRLS I’VE BEEN.

Praise for The Girls I’ve Been:

‘Unlike anything I’ve read before… immediate, gripping, incredibly tense, heart-breaking, heart-warming and FUN!’ Holly Jackson, author of A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder

‘Slick, stylish and full of suspense’ Sophie McKenzie

‘Grifters! Secret identities! Death-defying escapes! The Girls I’ve Been is a powerful gut-punch of a book that will leave you reeling long after its final pages. I couldn’t put it down!’ Chelsea Pitcher

‘Oh my god, I could hardly breathe until I finished. The tension! Absolutely loved it’ Emily Barr
