Who I Kissed does not fall into my preferred category of contemporary (the light and funny kind) but I really enjoyed it. There were a couple of parts that made me tear up. I didn't dislike Samantha but I can't really say I liked her either. Mostly I just felt sorry for her. Obviously after she kisses Alex and he dies she completely withdraws into herself, intent on punishing herself. She makes a couple of not so great decisions that had me irritated because you just know that it's not going to work and she shouldn't do it. 
 For the most part I liked all the other characters except Casper. That boy is not right. But her dad and aunt are great and I really liked Zee, especially since he wasn't that "perfect boy." He had flaws, just like everyone else. 
 I liked the ending, mostly because everything made a lot more sense to me. The whole peanut allergy thing is also an interesting concept and it kind of opens your eyes a bit to how serious some allergies can be.
