My Lips Are Sealed (Sealed With a Kiss Book 1) by Carmen Richter – Review by Amanda Lundin

My Lips Are Sealed (Sealed With a Kiss #1)My Lips Are Sealed by Carmen Richter
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I wish I had the words to properly express my thoughts on this book, but Richter happens to have stolen all the words. She stole all. the.words. Not only in descriptions and dialogue but in the songs and music knowledge base! I now have about 8 different musicals added to my To Watch List.

I think late teens/young adults would really connect well and enjoy this series (there are two other books as well as a novella). There are several themes and plots running throughout the story but love connects them all. The love connection is a bit controversial due to age and job situation, however, Richter does a great job of not glazing over that to have the characters struggle with their own morals along with the standards and judging of society.

Righter also did a very nice job of presenting the struggles teens face everyday: changes in friendship, physical abuse, alcohol abuse, sexual pressure, LGBTQ, suicide, death, secrets, and making the hard choices of what to do with your life; especially if that means choosing between staying with someone you love and chasing your dreams.

I have many remaining questions after finishing this book, hopefully they will be answered in the next one!
