     All teenager Scarlet wanted was two things: breasts and a kiss from her crush Dan McAndrew. She got what she wished for, but at a price. One day while waiting for a ride home after gymnastics practice with her two best friends Luce and Alison, Scarlet was signaled over to the popular group by Nadia, inviting Scarlet to her party that weekend. Betraying her friends, Scarlet agreed. Unknowingly, the action would come back to bite her in the back. At the party, she is falling head over heels with the popular Dan McAndrew, and it seems that he is falling for her as well. They quickly hit it off, and before she knows it, he is kissing her. Lost in the moment, she didn’t realize that he starts chocking. Minutes later, he was dead, and everyone thinks she did it. Now she at a new school, where she hopes she can finally forget what happened only a few months ago. But will her past come back to haunt her? And how did Dan McAndrew really die?    
       
     Kiss Me Kill Me was a pretty good book. I felt like I could relate to her to some extent. She reminded me a lot of myself in middle school, trying desperately to fit in with the popular crowd, resulting in abandoning friends for a period of time. I found her personality to be much like mine. I thought the story was well written and I enjoyed the plot. If other readers have liked Rosebush by Michele Jaffe, then I recommend this book.
