Also, thanks to me. (Because you know what, these are my acknowledgments, and I’d like to acknowledge that past me deserves a pat on the back.) Thanks to me, for being such a weird fifteen-year-old who chose to spend so much time in her room instead of going out, spending hours getting lost in a Word document and being brave enough to share some of those stories online, and finding a community in Wattpad that helped all this happen now.
Which, I guess…leads me back to you. My lovely readers.
Whether you’ve been following the Kissing Booth since its early days on Wattpad, whether you’re just discovering the books now because of the movies…You’re here, and thank you for that. I hope this took you back to the joys and dramas of first love—or gave you a spark of hopeless romanticism for it, or reminded you of you and your best friend, goofing around in the back of a classroom. And if you’re a teenager with a story to tell…hey, go for it. Who knows what could happen?
All this happened because of The Kissing Booth.
