Confessions of a Serial Kisser

The cover art and official description for Wendelin Van Draanen's Confessions of a Serial Kisser are up:


"Evangeline Logan wants a kiss. A spectacular, heart-stopping, life changing kiss. Somehow The Crimson Kiss (a romance novel she's become obsessed with) and Four Steps to Living Your Fantasy (a self-help book she's reading) have fused in Evangeline's mind and sent her on a quest for a kiss. But the path to perfection is paved with many bad kisses-the smash mouth, the ear licker, the "misser". The phrase "I don't kiss and tell" means nothing to the boys in her school. And worse: someone starts writing her name and number on bathroom walls. And worst of all: the boy she's just kissed turns out to be her best friend's new crush. Kissing turns out to be way more complicated than the romance novels would have you believe..."

I think Van Draanen's Flipped is one of the sweetest YA novels ever written--unfortunately, it raised my expectations for her books to such heights that it will be almost impossible to live up to 'em.
