Near Misses & Cowboy Kisses by Katrina Emmel

4.0

I read this book as part of the blog tour hosted by TBR & Beyond Tours. Special thanks to Delacorte Romance for providing a digital ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

TL;DR: Near Misses and Cowboy Kisses was a fun contemporary YA featuring a sweet summer romance with relatable teenage characters who were easy to empathise with and like. It also made me want to go and experience an Oregon Trail summer experience and bask in Nebraska’s natural trails! Overall, it was a fun and easy read and an enjoyable debut!

As I was reading Near Misses & Cowboy Kisses, I immediately thought of how much a younger me would’ve loved to read this book. Not only was the Oregon Trail a big part of my formative gaming experience, but as a young hopeless romantic, I’d always loved the idea of experiencing a breathtaking and beautiful summer romance.
