11 Unforgettable YA Kissy Scenes
1. Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi
First, there was the shower scene with perfect Adam.
“And he’s kissing me. Once, twice, until I’ve had a taste and realize I’ll never have enough. He’s everywhere up my back and over my arms and suddenly he’s kissing me harder, deeper, with a fervent urgent need I’ve never known before.”
2. Unravel Me by Tahereh Mafi
And then there was Chapter 62 with perfect Warner. Between this chapter and the shower scene no wonder Juliette is so torn.
“I feel his lips against my shoulder, soft and scorching and tender, so gentle I could almost believe it’s the kiss of a breeze and not a boy.”
3. The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin
Caution: kissing like this might make you forget a lot of things.
“He would kiss me, right now, after everything I’d done. I was poison, and Noah was the drug that would make me forget it.”
4. Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
There’s more kissing later in Fangirl, but we love Cath and Levi’s first stolen kiss.
“Levi’s kisses were all taking. Like he was drawing something out of her with soft little jabs of his chin. She brought her fingers up to his hair, and she couldn’t open her eyes.”
5. Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi
Why can’t all first kisses be like Aria and Perry’s?
“They molded together, fitted against one another with stunning perfection. Aria had never felt as she did now, exploring the taste of him. Feeling the strength of his arms around her. Inhaling sweat and leather and woodsmoke. His scents. She felt as though she’d found a moment of forever. Like this was how they should’ve always been.”
6. The Crown of Embers by Rae Carson
You may think kissing in a sewer would be unappealing, but you’d be wrong.
“Suddenly, he yanks me against him and bends his head to kiss me. I melt into him as his fingers tangle in my wet hair. My mouth opens to his, and our tongues meet for the briefest instance before he pulls away.”
7. Divergent by Veronica Roth
Sometimes it’s the moment right before the kiss…
“Are you asking me to undress, Tris?”
That makes the kissing even better.
“We kiss again, and this time, it feels familiar. I know exactly how we fit together, his arm around my waist, my hands on his chest, the pressure of his lips on mine. We have each other memorized.”
8. The Miseducation of Cameron Post by Emily M. Danforth
Sometimes perfect doesn’t even begin to cover it.
“I turned around and found her face, and her mouth was already waiting like a question. I’m not gonna make it out to be something that it wasn’t: It was perfect—Coley’s soft lips against the bite of the liquor and sugary Coke still on our tongues. She did more than just not stop me. She kissed me back.”
9. Harry Potter and the Deadthly Hallows by J.K. Rowling
The kiss that was seven books in the making. Was it worth the wait? Yes, yes it was.
“There was a clatter as the basilisk fangs cascaded out of Hermione’s arms. Running at Ron, she flung them around his neck and kissed him full on the mouth. Ron threw away the fangs and broomstick he was holding and responded with such enthusiasm that he lifted Hermione off her feet.”
10. The Distance Between Us by Kasie West
Things really heat up between Caymen and Xander in the kitchen.
“He takes me by the waist and lifts me onto the counter. I wrap my legs and arms around him and press my lips to his.”
11. Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz
Sometimes the second kiss is better than the first.
“I took him by the shoulders. I looked at him. And he looked at me. ‘You said I wasn’t scared of anything. That’s not true. That’s what I’m afraid of. I’m afraid of you, Dante.” I took a deep breath.
‘Try it again,’ I said. ‘Kiss me.’
‘No,’ he said.
‘Kiss me.’
‘No.’ And then he smiled. ‘You kiss me.’
I placed my hand on the back of his neck. I pulled him toward me. And I kissed him. I kissed him. And I kissed him. And I kissed him. And he kept kissing me back.”

Mademoiselle Zazie a des gros nénés ♥
Mademoiselle Zazie est en pétard contre son copain Max, qui s'amourache des filles à moitié nues qu'on voit partout sur les affiches, dans la rue. Trop, c'est trop. Zazie veut lui en mettre plein la vue, en défilant rien que pour lui en bikini (avec des pamplemousses pour prouver qu'il y a du monde au balcon).
Mais catastrophe ! son décolleté fait pitié à voir et Max se moque vertement de sa petite copine. Zazie est rouge de colère et entend se venger. Max a la goujaterie d'attribuer des notes aux femmes, il a commis l'erreur de s'en prendre à Zazie ET A SA MERE. Quel total manque de respect ! Il faut sévir.
Ce délicieux petit roman rappelle aux petits garçons, qui en douteraient, qu'il ne faut surtout pas manquer de respect aux femmes, et encore moins se laisser éblouir par une plastique. Il dénonce aussi l'étalage des publicités en tenues légères, pas seulement dans les magazines, mais tout simplement dans la rue, à la portée des enfants. Y'en a marre, souvent ça frôle le mauvais goût.
Ce nouvel épisode des aventures de Zazie n'est pas seulement drôle, savoureux et cocasse, il se veut pertinent, accusateur et défenseur (ce cher Max en prend pour son grade, encore une fois !), c'est incontestablement un rendez-vous de lecture obligatoire !
Et puis, rappelons-nous la chanson de Balavoine qui clamait son amour "des petits lolos".
♪♫ Elle est si câline
Qu'il faut respecter son corps
Très fort
Elle est tellement divine
Qu'on peut tout imaginer
Mais il ne faut pas toucher
Ses petits lolos
Jolis lolos ♪♫

Le Voyage extraordinaire de Petit Pierre
Découvrez comment le chemin vers l'école transforme un paysage ordinaire en un voyage extraordinaire aux yeux d'un petit garçon.
Petit Pierre et sa grand-mère se tiennent par la main, pour ne pas tomber dans la rivière qu'ils sont en train de longer. Là, un autobus ressemble à un grand crocodile qui a avalé tout plein de gens. Là encore, les automobiles sont des poissons qui nagent en doublant et en faisant pimpon bruyamment ! Là aussi, le feu tricolore est en fait un soleil rouge, invitant l'enfant à traverser la rivière sur un pont (le passage protégé). Et là enfin, c'est la banquise où marchent des pingouins avec un cartable dans une main et un téléphone dans l'autre.
On approche du but et on découvre une cour d'école qui contient des petits singes turbulents, derrière la grille. Ces derniers grimpent, courent, sautent et s'attrapent en hurlant. Il y a même un gros singe barbu pour surveiller tout ce monde ! Petit Pierre, lui, lâche la main de sa grand-mère, il n'a plus peur et sa mamie peut faire le chemin inverse, en glissant sa main dans la poche de son manteau, pour avoir plus chaud.
Cet album se lit comme une poésie, puisque tout n'est allégorie, et c'est tout simplement fabuleux. On plonge dans un monde de rêves et d'imagination, on en prend plein les yeux. C'est joli, quoi.
