"Everyone I’ve Kissed Since You Got Famous" focuses on the challenges fame, finding career success, and personal relationships can have on life. While many of the topics were heavy and relatable, humor was also thrown in.

Wil has a huge TikTok following on her “wilyouorwontyoy” channel where she kisses people for the first time for a full 60 seconds, posting twice a week.

Katie is a well known actress who has suffered trauma and seeking to find success on her own.

Wil and Katie were best friends in high school but haven’t seen each other in 13 years. Katie is taking a much needed break and decides to spend the holidays at home allowing her and Wil to reunite. They pick up where they left off as if no time has passed.

Both discuss the feelings they had for one another in high school and their lives now. They share their fears and dreams together.

This is a sapphic romance that falls under the friends to lovers trope. While I’m sure this will be some readers favorite read for the summer (or year) it was a three star read for me. The beginning engaged me but I felt the middle slowed down, at times feeling repetitive. I found my attention drifting before picking back up at the end.

I look forward however to other books from the authors!

Thank you to NetGalley, the authors and publisher for the opportunity to both read and listen to this!

oh this book was absolute saphic perfection. i'm so obsessed with this. as a baby gay and a bisexual this book gave me all the butterflies. This book is utter perfection and i love it so much

What a fun romp! I love childhood friends to lovers as a trope, but I haven't read a sapphic one yet, and this was a real treat! I especially enjoyed the way the author navigated the third act and avoided the third act breakup with an external conflict instead of an internal one!

I was really looking forward to listening to Everyone I Kissed Since You Got Famous by Mae Marvel, but unfortunately, I was a little disappointed in my experience. The Sapphic friends-to-lovers plot drew me in immediately. I also enjoyed the idea that one was TikTok famous and the other was famous for her acting and directing. I expected more tension from that distinction (between the different kinds of famous and how people end up there, etc.).

I found the plot of Everyone I Kissed very slow to develop, and that was hindered further by the barrage of characters tossed in who were, frankly, indistinguishable from each other. I spent too much time trying to figure out who was who, how they knew each other, and why I should care. I understand that in a Sapphic novel with a lot of female side characters, this could be an issue for anyone. I think that first person would have better suited this story rather than close third.

Additionally, the dialogue fell flat for me in many places. There was quite a lot of telling instead of showing, so when the dialogue did occur, I expected more bouncy, fun, emotional content rather than the stunted few sentences here and there.

Overall, I think this author makes a lot of good choices in plot, especially later on in the novel. But the first half left me burnt out.

Thank you to Macmillan Audio for providing me with this ARC to review for NetGalley.

Everyone I Kissed Since You Got Famous is a sex positive Sapphic Romance story. While it had some slight pacing issues for me, I'm glad I read it. I def had fun with the characters.Diverse. Dual POV. Second chance troupe.
Wilifred Greene and Katie Price were best friends during their school years. But Katie left for Hollywood at eighteen and the two haven’t seen each other in person for thirteen years. Katie is coming home for the year-end holidays. While they haven’t talked to each other in person, they have kept behind the scenes. Both have millions of followers. Katie as a famous actress, and Wil as a famous TikTok influencer with a goal of kissing two new people every week. Maybe now they are both home in Green Bay, Wisconsin they can actually talk about their feelings for each other.

The story was okay as a whole I personally didn’t like the dialogue though, the conversations they had didn’t make any sense to me and someone else was reading it … also I think the narrators are very slow when reading , I don’t think this book should have been 13+ hours long . Over all I don’t think I would listen to /read the book again .

I made it 70% through before the audiobook was archived, and am eagerly awaiting a copy from the library to see how this story ends.

Everyone I Kissed Since You Got Famous is a sweet and fun romance about unrequited love and second chances - the perfect read for a trip back to your hometown. It requires the ideal amount of suspension of disbelief and leaves you hoping for a happy ending for every character. I'll be recommending it to my friends in their 30s who are completing summer reading challenges.

4.5

Everyone I Kissed Since You Got Famous follows Katie Price (famous actor) and Wil Greene (famous on tik tok for making out with strangers lol) as they reconnect 10 years after high school summer. Now famous and suffering from writer’s block Katie returns home to work on a new project away from any distractions.

Things I liked
I love a good friend to lovers trope, Idk i like when the characters have a backstory cause it feels less abrupt. Gotta love those homoerotic high school friendships lol.
I liked the chemistry between the MCs, usually I don’t really get why the characters like each other but I could actually understand because of the history
The dual perspectives really worked for this book

Things I didn’t like
I kinda wanted a more satisfying end for the ex cause he was the worst and deserve every bad thing in the world

*I received this ARC from NetGally to read and review in exchange for an honest review.*

Thank you Net Galley and St. Martins press for a free copy of this audiobook in exchange for my honest review!!! This book is told in dual point of views which is my favorite style of writing lately. It’s a very slow burn, yet a light hearted second chance romance, that you must pay attention to and not skim any part. There were parts that was hard to keep my focus, but overall this was an enjoyable read. I usually don’t like second chance romances, but these characters actually communicated openly and honestly with each other and that’s not something that is normally done with this trope.

Thank you to Macmillan Audio for the ALC! Thank you to St.Martin’s Press for the eARC!

This was such a sweet, sultry, and satisfying sapphic romance! I absolutely loved the second chance/friends to lovers trope here, particularly that both characters were “famous” in their own right, without it being over the top.

The TikTok channel Wil created - brilliant! This added SO much to the story and her character. I loved both FMCs and their moms! This book was a slow burn with great payoff, emotional growth for the characters and so so Dorothea and ‘Tis The Damn Season coded. I couldn’t get enough! I hope there is more from this writing duo! 💚

I’m not dnfing just sitting on the shelf. Thought it was gonna be light cute and smutty. Is not. The narration is amazing. The story has promise. It’s just not for me right now.

I just finished Everyone I Kissed Since You Got Famous - A Novel- by Mae Marve Narrated by Mia Hutchinson-Shaw and here are my musings.


Katie Price is a household name. She’s that A-lister but when she does manage to make it home, shes just the girl next door. When she makes the decision to go home for christmas, she doesn’t anticipate it will lead her right back to Wil Greene.

A lot has changed for both of them but Wil is still the girl she remembers and she watches her channel twice a week, a channel where she kisses a new person every time. She is a celeb in her own right.

The more time they spend together, the more they grow closer together but can they make it with the whole world watching?


The narration was fine but I really didn’t connect with this book the way I wanted to. I don’t see how two people who felt that way about each other, just doesn’t talk for years. I didn’t feel normal or natural to me.

I loved the idea of this book. It sounded so great but the characters didn’t crack the one dimensional world for me.

The last hour of the book kinda made up for it but I needed more from this book.

3.5 stars rounded begrudgingly to 4

4.5 stars
Everyone I Kissed Since You Got Famous feels like a future classic queer novel! The story follows two ex-best friends as they reunite and come to terms with new and old revelations. The romance feels so true to life. It's the classic gay love story of realizing your friendship with someone was more than that a minute too late. Except these characters get their second chance, and make the most of it. Additionally, this novel balances a really endearing and tension-filled romance with bittersweet, grounded themes quite well. While this novel can be sad at times, the characters and themes are always growing in a very authentic and moving way. Overall, I'm so glad I picked this up. I've read a lot of rom-coms lately, and I think I needed something with a little more depth like this. I highly recommend this novel, especially to LGBTQ+ readers who will find inevitably find something in it to relate to. (And on a more lighthearted note, I loved the gay cat mom rep, lol)

Senior year it all changed, Katie and Wil's friendship started to evolve. But it was forgotten almost as quickly as it seemed to build. Katie went off to become a famous actor and well, Wil stayed home to care for her dad. Putting law school plans on hold to be with her father in his final years, Wil hasn't jumped back in.

Katie hasn't dated since her traumatic break up, and Wil has since become TikTok famous for kissing a new person twice a week for 60 seconds. Yet as Katie returns home it's as if no times has passed, and the whole world has changed all at once. Nuanced, strong females, remind readers of some important life lessons, as these friends rekindle and reignite.

This book was fine to me. I found a lot of the plot points to be forced. I could not understand how kissing strangers on TikTok was as big of a plot point as it was, I am not sure what it was doing for the book.
The couple’s moms were best friends and they were the same age but they hardly knew each other until their senior year of high school? I found that hard to believe. If their moms were as close as it seems like they were it would have been nearly impossible for them to not also have been close, even through association.
The attention between the characters seemed genuine, at least. And I enjoyed all of the content with the cats. But I felt like the book could have been flushed out better.

An insurance adjuster by day and TikTok star by night, Wil Green has the chance to realize unfulfilled dreams when her long-lost best friend, Hollywood star Katie Price, returns to their hometown of Green Bay for the holidays.

The premise for this book was really cute and Wil and Katie are a sweet pair. I appreciated the authors' aim to make all feel included within the pages. Great narration for the audiobook. I did feel like the story was way too long and could have ended in several places, and some scenes felt wholly unnecessary. Some of the dialogue did not feel very real world. I also could have used a bit more conflict as Wil and Katie sought their happily ever after.

2.5 stars.

I liked this book but didn’t love it. I appreciated the bisexual/pansexual representation, the good amount of spice, and the Midwestern references. I found the unique concept of Wil’s TikTok channel to be really interesting but I also thought some of the plot points tied to it were a bit of a stretch. I thought the pacing and overall plot were just okay. For a lot of the book, I was a bit bored and felt like the characters were not flushed out enough for me to feel invested in them and their stories. I could see some folks loving this book, but it was just a solid 2.75/3 stars for me. I did listen to the audiobook and thought the narration was great!

I overall enjoyed the experience of reading this book! It was a sweet friends to lovers story as a whole. However, there were just a few too many characters and it was a bit longer than I felt like it needed to be. Especially because the "conflict" didn't seem particularly too difficult to resolve. Did love the mom characters a lot, though, that was a fun addition!

I loved this book so much.
While there wasn’t a lot of spice the sexual tension was on every single page. I love a friends to lovers trope, this book had that mixed with a second chance romance in the form of a very common queer experience of falling in love with your best friend long before you saw those feelings for what they were. This book did some deep healing for my little bisexual heart, getting to see that kind of relationship healed was so wonderful.
The book also had some really fun side stories that gave the whole plot so much more dimension without taking away from the romance. As with most sapphic romances I’ve read it also spent a good amount of time really exploring the emotions behind each character, this simultaneously creates incredibly well rounded characters and gives the reader examples of healthy ways to express emotions and be vulnerable with people. That is one of the many reasons I love sapphic romances so much, the communication is always so much more realistic, there is nothing hotter than emotional intelligence.
I listened to the audiobook narrated by Mia Hutchinson-Shaw and she did a wonderful job. Especially with the parents’ midwestern accents, they were adorable. I would absolutely recommend listening to the book, it translated to audio very well!

I’m not sure why but I went into this thinking it was a YA book, which it very much isn’t, so it took me a while to get into it. But it was a cute book, perfect to read by the pool or on vacation.
