—Ashley Herring Blake, author of Delilah Green Doesn’t Care

“Dizzyingly adorable and brimming with laugh-out-loud humor, Kiss Her Once for Me is the new rom-com gold standard. Alison Cochrun writes with palpable compassion, tenderness, and heart that makes every page a memorable one. I swooned, squealed, and shrieked my way through this absolute masterpiece.”

“Bighearted, affirming, and dreamy—Kiss Her Once for Me is an ode to those in search of love, family, and a new lease on life.”

—Timothy Janovsky, author of Never Been Kissed

“Cochrun’s writing is by turns whip-smart, hilarious, and deeply vulnerable. Kiss Her Once for Me is both a queer celebration and subversion of romance tropes, along with being a love letter to Portland and an incisive exploration of family, art, and failure. Jack and Ellie’s swooningly romantic love story will make even the most cynical among us believe in the magic of snow days.”

—Anita Kelly, author of Love & Other Disasters

“Kiss Her Once for Me is a gift of a story. Capturing the festive charm and nostalgia of the season, the fresh-fallen-snow wonder of falling head over heels, this holiday romance also reminds us that giving and receiving love can be as tangled as a knot of Christmas lights, yet, with patience and perseverance, finally unwound and no less beautiful, the glowing joy we all deserve.”

—Chloe Liese, author of Two Wrongs Make a Right

“Don’t let the holigays pass without gifting yourself the unparalleled delight of coming home to the magic-brimmed pages of Kiss Her Once for Me! Alison Cochrun stuns in her sophomore novel, lovingly ushering readers into the giant hearts and all-consuming, snow-laced romance of Ellie and Jack. Kiss Her Once for Me is at once deeply tender and whip-smart, radiating joy and intimate self-love from every line. With ultimate care and close attention to detail, Alison establishes her work as a safe haven of sensitivity and affirmation. This is precisely the take on While You Were Sleeping that the Queer Community deserves, and the whimsy-infused second-chance romance of my dreams. May we all get a snow day.”
