She’s the quiet bookworm. He’s the popular jock. What happens when you fall for your ex-best friend-turned-enemy?

After two years away, sixteen-year-old Ellie Goodwyn returns to her hometown of Dearborne, North Carolina, hoping for a fresh start. But there’s just one problem: Kohen Nicolls. Her ex-best friend.

Once inseparable, Kohen and Ellie are now worlds apart. The boy she once knew is now
ridiculously good-looking, insanely popular, and seems to have completely forgotten she exists. Somewhere on the roadmap of life, Kohen deviated onto an exit ramp to Destination Popularity as the football player with the dazzling cobalt-blue eyes and a fan club Ellie has no interest in joining, whereas Ellie got stuck in a broken-down car on the Road to Anonymity as the quiet girl who prefers the make-believe of books over the chaos of real life.

Unfortunately for Ellie, her well-meaning—and meddling—friend Mallory is about to shake things up. To drag Ellie out of her shell, Mallory secretly signs her up for the town’s Christmas pageant—Ellie’s personal nightmare, thanks to a humiliating past performance. And when the only person who can help Ellie prepare for the pageant is Kohen, mishaps ensue, sparks fly, and their long-lost connection begins to flicker back to life.

Thrown together in a whirlwind of awkward moments and hilarious disasters, Ellie starts to see glimpses of the boy she once trusted with her heart, and the more they reconnect, the harder it becomes to ignore one undeniable truth: she’s falling for him.

When the pageant’s magical wishing star ceremony gives Ellie the chance to write her most desired wish, she’s left wondering if she’s brave enough to wish for something real.

Packed with laugh-out-loud banter, swoon-worthy moments, and the magic of second
chances, The Kiss Wish is a sweet YA rom-com about finding courage, rediscovering the person who once meant everything, and the sweetness of first kisses.
