About this ebook

On a film set built for scares, rising actress Lilah Silver is chasing her first big break—but finds herself falling for the last person she expected: the movie's brilliant special effects artist, Noa Birnbaum.

Under Hollywood's bright lights, Lilah is determined to prove herself. Off camera, in the quiet glow of the makeup chair, Noa offers unexpected comfort and understanding that makes Lilah question everything she thought she wanted, turning long days into moments of honest connection.

As creative ambitions and romantic sparks collide, both women must decide if they're ready to step into the spotlight...not just as artists, but as their truest selves.

I Kissed a Girl is a fresh, heartfelt sapphic romance blending behind-the-scenes Hollywood charm with the emotional journey of coming out, creative discovery, and finding love where you least expect it. Perfect for fans of Casey McQuiston and Alexis Hall, Jennet Alexander delivers a slow-burn, authentic love story that celebrates hope, humor, and belonging.

Ratings and reviews

A little bit of everything here. It starts out as a coming out/first time/friends-to-lovers story, and ends up with a kind of zany mystery. With nods to horror flicks all throughout the story, Jennet Alexanders' I Kissed a Girl turned out to be a lot of fun. With loads of chuckle worthy moments, Jennet Alexander breathes new life into this genre without taking it all too seriously. Four stars to I Kissed a Girl, for its toung-in-cheek handling of a hallway full of snakes! Audio performed by Natalie Naudus who does a wonderful job. The quick shifting between characters couldn't be easy, and this voice actor handles it perfectly.
