Kiss Now, Lie Later (Rival Love Book 1)

Product Information

I'm confused about the rating tbh. Everything that had to do SOLELY with the main couple was greatly written, full of sweet moments, mutual support and respect. It was an adorable first love kind of story. This author knows how to bring to people together in a believable way, if only she wouldn't also include third act break ups in her stories 🤣😅 PLEASE TELL ME THAT IRL AMERICAN TOWNS ARE NOT SO OBSSESSED WITH HIGH-SCHOOL FOOTBALL AND THAT THE RIVALRY WAS JUST THE STUFF OF BOOKS????

I also had a lot of fun getting to know both characters’ sets of friends. We don’t spend loads of time with each group since our main characters are always sneaking away to see each other, but I appreciated the time we had with them. Those reasons have never made sense, though, and they’ve become sillier and sillier the more time I’ve spent with Maeve.” One thing that kinda bothered me was the timing of things. Like one chapter something would happen and then the next chapter would take place a week or two later. And that’s how most of the book was. As well, there were a few times where Mauve or Weston would mention something that happened between the two of them, but it was like off the record. For example, Mauve got one of Weston’s sweatshirts, but we never see her get it. She just tells her she got it from him at some point. This happened with things a few times which I didn’t love, but it didn’t ruin the story for me. Why were her friends so shitty when they found out about Wes… I understand they were concerned but it was unfair of them to make her feel like she wasn’t important to him. They automatically assumed he would play her when they didn’t know him at all… Maggie was at least nice about it but LIVED in the rival town, why was she not more supportive. Because I do. Love her. Even though there are a lot of reasons why I probably shouldn’t. Those reasons have never made sense, though, and they’ve become sillier and sillier the more time I’ve spent with Maeve.”

I also had a lot of fun getting to know both characters' sets of friends. We don't spend loads of time with each group since our main characters are always sneaking away to see each other, but I appreciated the time we had with them. Her success was so overly looked, she won, she played she was involved and they overlooked her like she was nothing. And it pained me, that the world saw her or her family name not of her own achievements. If my feelings for Maeve have taught me anything, it’s that sometimes you love the people you shouldn’t. Because I do. Love her. Even though there are a lot of reasons why I probably shouldn’t. Unfortunately, Piper’s promotion involves the charming cowboy she’s spent years attempting to avoid. And flying to middle of nowhere, Texas, in a desperate attempt to talk the king of country music into returning to the stage.

Wes and Maeve were beautiful, they truly defied my expectations and I loved every moment of it. It was ruthlessly amusing and breathtaking in the best way. Also, the fact that the twin-brother chastised the heroine and said she "could've let down his bestie easier" tells you all about the toxicity of this character. The fact that he gets his own love-story next bothers me. The moment she called Wes drunk and he dropped everything to make sure she was okay and THEY WERE BROKEN UP?? I love him more for that. I hate that he pushed her away because he was terrified of losing her and being her second choice, but with his home life it was understandable. The book could have been amazing without all the breakup drama if they had communicated, but I love their relationship . What a nice contemporary romance! I wasn't really sure what to expect going in especially because I was getting Romeo and Juliet vibes from the synopsis, but I really enjoyed this book! THIS BOOK SHATTERED EVERY PART OF ME. I loved it, it was filled with moments of fear of sadness, as a sufferer of daddy issues literally. I resonated with this book, she was overlooked so much, put second when she was just as amazing as her brother. And it hardened my heart that Wes was the only one supporting her, looking out for her. He showed her love, when her own father didn’t even show it.A torn attraction. A torn love, rippled by the bare hands of their loved ones. Maeve and Wes meet and the attraction starts their, even though they know of the disappointment and anger they would face from their rivaling towns. She’s from the wrong side of the field, and he’s playing the wrong sport, the opposing sport of her own twin. the fact maeve was also like well known and popular. usually in these type of books its like popular football boy and nerd girl. (I also enjoy that btw) but it was refreshing to see an actual match. Lastly, I wish I could have gotten to know Mauve's twin, Liam, a little better. Or he at least could have had more screen time. He's basically only mentioned in passing until the very end which I was sad about. To be such an important person in Mauve's life, we hardly ever see him. They hardly know each other. Until one week of sharing secrets, pretending to be in love, and sleeping in the same bed changes everything. Feelings that were supposed to be fake start to feel very real.

Problem is, neither of them is looking for a relationship. At most, they’re meant to be a summer fling. Definitely not a happily ever after. the party scene - where maeve caught him kissing emily. i love those type of scenes but once again the way the author wrote it LIKE SHOW ME THE TENSION AND ANGER not just maeve being like "im so angry " Little boy needed to grovel and grow tf up idc. Does he apologize? Eventually, but personally, it wasn’t enough after what he did and what he said. Yes, sometimes, on occasion, you will find me reading a M/F book, like Kiss Now, Lie Later - no judgments, please. It wasn't that bad, per se, but the rival angle seemed a bit of a stretch, because while the couple's relationship was a secret, due to the rivalry and enmity between their two respective schools, the resolution of said conflict was rather softly-handled. It bothered me more than I expected, not only because I’m far from Liam’s biggest fan. I wonder if I even would have noticed if she hadn’t already flat-out told me people only see her as her father’s daughter or her brother’s sister”It was nicely shown - they shared some really cute moments together and Wes proved to be a real dear, despite his star stature as the imposing captain of the football team. Maeve is a girl also to be proud of - senior captain of the girls' soccer team, strong studious student, and also, the twin sister to the captain of her own school's football team. I empathized with Maeve's underlying fear and frustration and confusion of a supposed betrayal to her family by having feelings for Wes. 💕💕 But he saw her, as Maeve not an extension of Stevens. Wes saw her for her lifelong achievements, her running in the morning, extra time spent every second on the soccer field. One thing that kinda bothered me was the timing of things. Like one chapter something would happen and then the next chapter would take place a week or two later. And that's how most of the book was. As well, there were a few times where Mauve or Weston would mention something that happened between the two of them, but it was like off the record. For example, Mauve got one of Weston's sweatshirts, but we never see her get it. She just tells her she got it from him at some point. This happened with things a few times which I didn't love, but it didn't ruin the story for me. I loved them, but I hated the third act breakup. Matt, her brother’s best friend KISSES HER and it gets blown out of proportion when Wes finds out and accuses her of cheating. He lashes out, breaks up with her and kisses the girl he told her not to worry about… yeah I screamed when he did that. Technically they were on a break but I was so pissed that he got drunk and kissed her because he saw Maeve was there. It was unfair to her because she genuinely didn’t cheat and he didn’t even give her a chance to explain before kissing someone else. While I’m glad it was resolved, Im disappointed that it happened. SHE CHOSE WES OVER HER BROTHER. I thought Liam was going to come to terms with their relationship but he issued an ultimatum and she didn’t choose her twin brother. I cant wait for his book because I hope the tension gets resolved and he eventually learns to get along with Wes. Lastly, I wish I could have gotten to know Mauve’s twin, Liam, a little better. Or he at least could have had more screen time. He’s basically only mentioned in passing until the very end which I was sad about. To be such an important person in Mauve’s life, we hardly ever see him.
