I found this book hard to get through. The author tries to offer all the different ways kissing can make us feel. The writing style was more stream of consciousness than focused. The book is all over the place. The book is short but it was a long read. Although I enjoy kissing this book was not for me.

Kissing is weird man. Writing about kissing is weird too. But this book was very well done and I enjoyed the variety of ideas and perspectives explored. A very clever concept.

Avidly Reads Making Out is a dry disappointing book. I could not finish even half of this book. I really tried to get through this.

Hoo boy, this book was not for me. At 173 pages, I couldn't even finish it. Too vague, too wishy-washy, no concrete ideas whatsoever. I have a Master's in Narrative Theory and this was so theory-based, nothing tangible to hold onto at all, that it was completely incomprehensible. I got 40 pages in and I literally could not continue. The use of parentheses every other sentence (to add meaning? Usually with interrogatives? For no apparent reason?) really, really didn't help the flow. It came across as fragmented, and in a book which is already difficult to get a foothold on, that was the nail in the coffin for me.

This book might be someone else's favourite. I'm sure someone else will be able to parse some meaning from it. I wish I could be that person, but I am not.
