A Million Kisses in Your Lifetime (Lancaster Prep)

Product Information

Crew Lancaster though? Just screams perfection, I don’t even know where to begin with him. Growing up with parents who barely tolerate each other, being the youngest of four and basically forgetting, unless he screws up, never being taken seriously, just seems lonely. She is a leader they all follow, and she quietly rules the school, just like me. Her crown is light though. Made of spun glass and airy effervescence and with zero expectations. While mine is heavy and cumbersome, reminding me of my duty to the family. To the name.

Don’t you ever do anything impulsive, Birdy?” His tone is soft. Almost suggestive. “No. Not really.” “You should try it sometime.” “Why?” “Sometimes, doing something without thinking can be liberating.”At the beginning, I wasn’t sure how I felt about Wren. But as I continued reading, her fears, insecurities, the relationship with her parents, being sheltered and forced into an obscured belief where she fears any form of intimacy, opened my mind to understand her character. I fell in love with her writing style, how she described thoughts and emotions; light and accessible, and at the same time almost tangible, as if I could touch and feel these words on my own skin. I fell in love with the way she created the atmosphere, the vibe, the electrifying chemistry. Everything about this book was cohesive, the plot interesting, and the characters well developed. Son of the family who own the school, Crew's life seems easy - but with an overbearing father and high expectations, it's anything but.

A Million Kisses in Your Lifetime: A Lancaster Prep Novel

I’m not sad,” I admit, and I mean it. “I just—” “Want to forget everything else? Everybody else?” I nod, resting a hand against his chest, my palm directly over his thundering heart. “Maybe I am a little sad.” He dips down, his mouth at my ear. “What would make you feel better?” I turn toward his mouth, my lips brushing his when I whisper, “You.” She arrived at Lancaster Prep boarding school the first day of our freshman year, and no one knew who she was. Fresh and untested, open and accepting with that damn smile that seems permanently etched across her face. Every girl in our class immediately fell under her spell. Followed her everywhere she went. Desperately wanted to be her friend, even fought for the coveted spot of best friend. They copied her effortless style, and she set the school abuzz every time she wore her hair a different way or put on a new pair of earrings, for Christ’s sake. You sure you want me to be your first?” He drifts his fingers across my cheek, sliding them into my hair, holding the side of my head, forcing me to meet his gaze. “Because after I take one, I’m going to want them all.” I’ve heard from more than one person that I scare her. Intimidate her. I am everything she fears, as well she should. Even the older girls, the upperclassmen, were drawn to her. Completely captivated by a seemingly innocent green-eyed girl who has barely spoken ten words to me in the entirety of her time here.One thing that I really admire about Monica Murphy’s writing is how relatable she makes her characters, even when their context or lived experience is most certainly fiction. The elite world, the adult-feelings and sensuality, the extraordinary drama and experiences her characters face on the surface may be nothing like our teens- but Monica always imbues the essence of adolescent, of maturing, so genuinely and endearingly into the lived experiences of her characters that even within their uncommon lives we find common threads of our own maturation. Wren’s innocence, her lingering need to please her parents, her desire to be perceived as good, as an achiever- I couldn’t relate to that more. But perhaps what makes her the most lovable, and the most relatable, is her desperation to figure out just who she is, absent from those around her. Crew challenges her to confront the fallacy of her identity, to question just how real is the way she perceives herself- her friends, her needs, her family, her ambitions. It’s the most teenage of experiences and lessons- figuring out what is temporal in our world and what is truth. And I love how she recognizes her own agency- how Crew gives her the safety and the courage to explore herself, to find her own voice. Their budding romance is the catalyst to her identity development, and it makes it all the sweeter.
