Hi friends,
          	ICYMI – Kissing Is the Easy Part is being published, and a movie is coming soon! Couldn't have done any of this without you. I have a quick favor to ask: do you have any song recommendations for me? I’ve received so many wonderful ones in the past, but unfortunately, I lost some of them when the inbox feature was removed.

I remember reading Kissing is the easiest part and Kisses and other necessities as far back as 8 years ago and they still remain my best reads. They’re so relatable and invokes deep emotions, can’t wait to watch the screen adaptation and hope it does justice to the original story

Thank you so much for the kind message! I'm grateful that the story has garnered enough interest for a film adaptation but I'm not involved at all in that process. If you could read the published version of the book that'd be awesome, but no worries either way ❤️

I first read this novel when I was merely 17 or 18 and now I am 25 and I still keep coming back to it. I basically grew up with this story from not knowing what love is to actually being in a passionate relationship. I certainly feel connected to this story to a very deep level. I am so happy it's turning into a movie. 
          
          Congratulations!

@Slothisreading Aww love it, I love to hear from old readers who stick around, thank you for sharing this with me. I appreciate you! <3

Wow, I am so happy KITEP is being published!! Congratulations — I have reread this story regularly for years and years and can’t wait to reread now again. Only saw a few things about the sequel possibly being rewritten, is there any chance you would leave up the original sequel as well? I love rereading it too, it’s always made me think of “One Day” or “Normal People” in the way it follows Sean and Flora over the years.

@spaghetti4worstpasta YES i think there will be readers who enjoy the original sequel so I'll leave it up, but that version doesn't reflect how I see the characters now, so think of it as an alternate universe maybe
            and NO WAY, One Day and Normal People are my favorites, I use them as comps all the time as books that are not strictly "romances" - thrilled you feel the same way!

Congratulations Christine!
          Your stories are the single reason why I'm still on Wattpad and I'm so happy for you. You deserve all of this and more. Can't wait to read the published version and anything else you plan to work on. 
          
          Sitting on the edge of my seat to witness Flora and Sean on screen! 
          Wishing you a very flourishing future in publishing and adaptations! 
          
          I'll be cheering you on from across the screens!

@baverlybell thank you so much, I'm flattered and thrilled that you enjoyed reading my stories. So excited for the movie and the book, and I'm grateful for your support!

A billion congrats to you. After reading KITEP a million times, I'm so glad it's being published and now being turned into a movie. I remember asking you why it wasn't part of the paid stories and you said you chose to keep it that way. But you really deserve this because you're just great. Congratulations!

rainbowbrook

Thanks so much, this makes me so happy! Yes being a paid story wasn’t my goal but a published book is. I’m so glad with the way things turned out x

Hi, Christine! 
          
          I hope you're doing well. 
          
          I am so thrilled to hear about KITEP finally getting published. I wanted to pre-order but I couldn't create an account on PRH's website. It's asking for a 5-digit ZIP code and, unfortunately, our country only uses a 4-digit code. Based on your recent update, did I understand correctly that it will still be available in physical bookstores worldwide on November 18? I am so looking forward to having a copy, reading it again, and then just stare at it with heart eyes.
          
          All the love from your Filipino readers <3

Hi Eaie, 
            Thank you so much for the message, I’m so thrilled you’re excited! There are other links on the PRH’s website like Amazon and Barnes and Noble. If you could pre-order from Amazon in your home territory that’d be great. The book will be worldwide for bookstores to bring it in but we don’t know if every bookstore will. 
            
            I love the new version myself and hope you’ll too! Much love to you ❤️

I got kobo libra last year and I’m beyond amazzzzzed to find out that KITEP will be available on there in Nov 2025 
          
          It just sounds like a dream that the book I was obsessed with 10 ish years ago will be on my device 10 years later 
          
          Huge congrats Christine!! 
          
          I’ve been inactive on Wattpad for years but just gotta come back here and drop this comment!! 
          
          Hope all is well ❤️

rainbowbrook

@Samiksha_ram 
            yes that’s the plan!!
            There are some changes in the published version though and the new sequel chapters are supposed to follow the published version.
