Thank you to Webtoon and NetGalley for sending me a copy to read and enjoy.

This volume started right where volume one ended right on the cliffhanger and it ended on another kind of cliffhanger. Sara Lin is back at it with another bet that she is trying to fill and trying to juggle all of the boys in her life. I’m personally team Oliver but I don’t think that will happen with the way it ended. This was another easy and fast paced read. The artwork is amazing. I’d read anything by this author.
I would absolutely recommend this series.

The more I read, the more confused I am about who I want Sara Lin to end up with!

For now, I am still rooting for Oliver! I don't think Joe and Sara Lin are very compatible based on what I have seen so far, but time will tell. Volume 2 focused more on Sara Lin and Patrick, which honestly, I am not complaining about. We get to learn more about how they became friends earlier on in high school, which is really sweet. Patrick is the goofy friend who starts to realize his feelings a little too late (or not hehe). His conversation with Sara Lin in the nurse's office was very insightful, and I was not expecting to see him be so vulnerable with his feelings this early on (even if he didn't use the right words).

Notable moments:
- Oliver agreeing to tutor her again
- the whole festival (I loved how its so obvious Oliver is starting to come around to Sara Lin)
- the ending....criminal for it to end there

This volume had my jaw on the floor with that ending, and I can't wait to continue the series!

YAY for Volume Two coming soon! 🩷 I've been following The Kiss Bet on WEBTOON for over a year now, and I’m so excited that Volume 2 is coming later this year! For me, this is where the story really starts to come into its own—there's more emotional depth, more character growth, and the beginnings of that signature slow burn that defines the series.

While Volumes 1 and 2 still read as a little immature on this re-read, they do a great job laying the foundation for what’s to come. You start to see hints of future storylines taking shape, and more of the charming side characters begin to shine. Their POVs and arcs play a much bigger role from this point forward, which is one of my favorite things about the series!

The art remains one of the standout elements for me. It’s bright, expressive, and full of fun little doodles that add to the charm. It’s what first pulled me into the series, and I still love it.

The Kiss Bet is the ultimate slow burn. It can definitely test your patience, but the pacing makes sense for the characters and their backstories. These early volumes are essential in establishing all of that!

Huge thanks to WEBTOON and the author, Ingrid Ochoa for the ARC of Volume 2! I can’t wait to keep reading 💕

Sara Lin is back, and mission: 'have her first kiss' is still incomplete. The Kiss Bet Volume Two brings back the young adult antics and complex boy 'friend' dynamics. She is continuing to accept kiss bets from her best friend Patrick, and as she continues to miss every deadline, she begins to question if her thoughts of a first kiss being special are worth it. I love all the boy options (Joe, Patrick, and Oliver) that inadvertently present themselves as Sara Lin is determined to check first kiss off her to-do list. Such a good story to get wrapped up in. With each volume, I swear I am rooting for my fave guy. Readers will have to pick their jaws off the floor when they get to the last few pages and bite their nails as they anxiously await for what's to come!

Sara Lin is funny and a bit dramatic like typical girls she really said "I'm going to die a virgin lips" I think it's cute how she's always blushing. And I was glad she told oliver about the Kiss Bet from the subway. That festival night was chaos full of confessions and another kissing bet, oh my gawd that ending and i can't believe her first kiss was stolen. I'm excited for the next volume. Also the art is super cute.
