The novel highlights different family dynamics that readers may resonate with... [a] story of trust, love, and family." —Kirkus Reviews “What a wonderful story about young love and trials and tribulations of teenagers. Very well written and made me feel like I actually knew these characters." —Starred review 5/5 "I really enjoyed A Kiss to Wake Me. The story was emotionally engaging. In fact, I was so into it, I kept having to go back adding comments since I was that much into finding out what happened next. I really liked Cara and Jamie. How they acted through what can only be considered enormous stress felt genuine and honest." —Starred Review 5/5 "I thoroughly enjoyed reading A Kiss to Wake Me. Cheryl did an amazing job creating characters that are likable, relatable, and have you rooting for them the entire book. I would recommend this to anyone who loves romance and enjoys young love." —Julie Schrader, editor at Bookworm Yogi "The first few paragraphs of A Kiss to Wake Me drew me in and would not let me go till I knew the outcome. From start to finish, it was engaging, romantic, and suspenseful. A story of young love, love at first sight, and a cautionary tale, this was indeed a great read." —Early Reader Review
