The only characters who kiss in this book, one of them dies. Next book is a fun Romeo and Juliet type romance, book 3, 4 and 5 have two boys falling in love (which, in a universe where the only difference people notice between different sex couples and same sex couples is that if the same sex couples want kids, they have to adopt, is going to be SO much fun to write) and then the MC's real love interest in introduced in book 4.
And get this.
THE KISS, the big one, the one that will be amazing, happens in the LAST THREE PAGES of the LAST CHAPTER of the LAST BOOK.
Oh man, when I'm done these books you guys had better read them.
