Just One Kiss is based on the first installment of Emily Jean’s Wattpad novel series. Farrah Blake is a senior high school student who hopes to experience romance before summer arrives. Her friends are already dating people they like, while Farrah feels as though she has been left behind. To make matters worse, her classmates mock her by calling her the Virgin Mary.
Farrah has had feelings for her childhood best friend, Ethan Sinclair, for years. She often imagines sharing her Just One Kiss moment with the boy everyone at school wants. Unfortunately, Ethan’s overprotective mother, Sheryl, stands in the way. Farrah knows she isn’t supposed to fall in love with him, so she tries to convince herself that Ethan isn’t her type.
A school prince like Ethan should be with another princess, not someone like her—or at least, that’s what Farrah keeps telling herself. Deep down, she wants Ethan to admit that she is the only girl he wants. When Ethan finds another boy he believes would be perfect for her, Farrah faces a difficult choice. Will she give someone else a chance, or will her feelings for her supportive but flirtatious best friend refuse to disappear?
