Hello Fellow Reader,
Based on a Webtoon, The Kiss Bet is a cute story about Sara Lin, an 18-year-old high school senior who has never been kissed. This leads her friend Patrick (Potential love interest #1) to make a bet to ask a random boy they see on the subway for a kiss. This ends badly, and this boy turns out to be Oliver (potential love interest #2), a junior at her school, her new calculus tutor, and the brother of her crush Joe (potential love interest #3).
Sara is a bit immature and forgetful, she can also seem very selfish which makes her somewhat unlikable. Oliver seems like he has a couple of issues regarding relationships, especially with his family, he's a grumpy goose who gets on Sara's bad side. I feel like I was more interested in the side characters like Sara's cool dad, her cousin, and a couple of others, so I hope eventually the comic fleshes them out more.
Overall, a fun high school comic.
