"6 Times We Almost Kissed (And One Time We Did)" is the latest from Tess Sharpe, author of the novel-turned-Netflix film "The Girls I've Been," featuring Millie Bobby Brown. Avoiding the girl you keep almost kissing is nearly impossible when she's your roommate. Penny and Tate's mothers are BFFs, and when Penny's mother donates her liver to Tate's mother, the two families move in together to help each other through the recovery process. Coming together to navigate mounting bills and academic struggles, ignoring the undeniable attraction between them becomes more and more difficult for Penny and Tate. At some point, they will have to confront the connection they've always felt and ran away from. Sharpe's friends-to-lovers story is a compelling sapphic romance, sure to stir readers' hearts.
