What if your last kiss was with the wrong boy?In Bethany Neal's My Last Kiss, Cassidy Haines remembers her first kiss vividly. It was on the old covered bridge the summer before her freshman year with her boyfriend of three years, Ethan Keys. But her last kiss—the one she shared with someone at her seventeenth birthday party the night she died—is a blur. Now, Cassidy is trapped in the living world, not only mourning the loss of her human body, but left with the grim suspicion that her untimely death wasn't a suicide as everyone assumes. She can't remember anything from the weeks leading up to her birthday and she's worried that she may have betrayed her boyfriend. If Cassidy is to uncover the truth about that fateful night and make amends with the only boy she'll ever love, she must face her past and all the decisions she made—good and bad—that led to her last kiss.

MY FIRST KISS
“HOW OLD WERE YOU when you had yours?”
I leaned my hands on the sun-warmed railing of the old covered bridge and hung my head low so Ethan wouldn’t see the corner of my mouth twitch the way it always did when I lied. “Sixth grade,” I answered.
“Really? I didn’t kiss anyone until eighth.”
I smiled a little to myself. “Who was it?” I pressed onto my toes, squinting against the summer sun, so I could see the family of brown bats that roosted between the wooden beams under the bridge. My best friends, Aimée and Madison, and I spent almost every night that summer before freshman year on Aimée’s roof watching the bats flap and dive in the indigo sky as we debated whether or not the food would be better in the high school cafeteria come September.
“Layla Moore,” Ethan answered.
I jerked my head up and grinned at him. “You made out with Lay-me Moore?”
He held up his hands. “She wasn’t like that in the beginning of the year, and we only kissed once behind the dugout after baseball practice.”
“Ooo, behind the dugout,” I teased. “Were you in uniform?”
He rolled his eyes and crossed his arms. “All right, I told you mine. Now tell me yours.”
