"An addictive mix of heart, humor, and hot. How to Make Out is the perfect lesson in how to fall in love with YA romance." —Gina Ciocca, author of Last Year's Mistake

“How to write a seriously addictive book? Mission accomplished. Smart, hilarious, and un-put-down-able, How to Make Out will capture readers’ hearts.” —Laurie Elizabeth Flynn, author of Firsts

"Full of humor, heart, and some serious chemistry, How to Make Out is a fun and romantic read with dynamic characters I won't soon forget." —Chantele Sedgwick, author of Love, Lucas

"Renley is an endearing character with a lot of baggage. Her father’s infidelity, which led to the breakup of her parents’ marriage, eats at Renley and keeps her commitment-phobic. Her mother’s aloofness stings more than Renley can admit. Readers will immediately recognize that Renley feels more for Drew than she is admitting and will root for them to find their way to each other. This is a story with an obvious lesson to it, but the lesson is delivered in an entertaining manner and will be an easy sell to teen girls." —VOYA Magazine

“This laugh-out-loud coming-of- age novel engages readers immediately and never lets go. . . This book distinguishes itself with peripheral characters who are also well-developed and support Renley and the fast-paced plot. Shrum addresses many bildungsroman issues throughout the narrative in a believable and interesting way and still manages to pull off a thought-provoking story that will let young adults understand and relate to Renley’s many crises and how she comes to handle them. VERDICT Readers of Carrie Jones’s Tips on Having a Gay (Ex) Boyfriend will love this.” —School Library Journal
