Don't Kiss the Messenger (Edge Lake High School #1)
by Katie Ray
Publication Date: April 10, 2017
Publisher: Entangled Teen Crush
For most of her teenage life, CeCe Edmonds has been dealing
with the stares and the not-so-polite whispers that follow her around Edgelake
High. So she has a large scar on her face—Harry Potter had one on his forehead
and people still liked him.
CeCe never cared about her looks—until Emmett Brady,
transfer student and football darling, becomes her literature critique partner.
The only problem? Emmett is blindsided by Bryn DeNeuville, CeCe’s gorgeous and
suddenly shy volleyball teammate.
Bryn asks CeCe to help her compose messages that’ll charm
Emmett. CeCe isn’t sure there’s anything in his head worth charming but agrees
anyway—she’s a sucker for a good romance. Unfortunately, the more messages she
sends and the more they run into each other, the more she realizes there’s
plenty in his head, from food to literature. Too bad Emmett seems to be falling
for the wrong girl…
Disclaimer: This
Entangled Teen Crush book involves one fiercely scarred girl who wants the new
guy in town, the new guy who thinks he wants the new girl, and the new girl who
really isn’t sure what she wants, and the misunderstanding that brings them all
together. You’ll laugh, you’ll swoon, you’ll fall in love.

My review: 4 stars!
Although I'm a sucker for a re-telling, I'll admit to not being all that familiar with Cyrano de Bergerac- I just knew the basic premise. Nevertheless, I enjoyed this YA spin on the tale, although the characters seemed much older than high school- definitely more college aged. I found myself pulling for CeCe and Emmett and adored their interactions- both as themselves, and as CeCe writing for Bryn.
