Description

Liv has spent the last decade trying to forget the boy who broke her heart.

Once fierce high school rivals, she and Jake Glasswell were supposed to share a magical prom night kiss. Instead, the evening ended in humiliation, sending their lives in completely different directions. Now Liv is a recently furloughed drama teacher doing her best to move forward, while Jake has become a charming and successful television personality.

Their unexpected reunion is awkward enough when Jake climbs into Liv's Lyft—but things become even more complicated when they're thrown together as maid of honor and best man at their best friends' wedding.

Then, in the middle of the ceremony, everything changes.

In the blink of an eye, Liv is transported into an alternate version of her life where that long-lost prom kiss actually happened. In this reality, she and Jake have built the love story she always wondered about. But every perfect moment comes with a heartbreaking cost, forcing Liv to question whether changing the past is worth losing the people she loves most.

Heartwarming, witty, and sprinkled with magical realism, What's in a Kiss? is an emotional second-chance romance that explores fate, first love, and how one small choice can change everything.
