Once upon a time, there was a girl who lived in a house of clocks, a house that ticked like a bomb... Officially, Olive's only been gone one day, but Grace knows she's been lost much longer. Her schoolmate's disappearance forces Grace to recall the dark secrets she and Olive still share - including the one that shattered their friendship four years ago, the one that haunts Grace now. With the adults around her caught up in their own dramas and deceptions, Grace struggles to make sense of her past and present before she too becomes lost. "Three Kinds of Kissing is a modern classic about friendship, loss of innocence and the myriad ways families can self-implode." - Cynthia Rogerson
