But when her classmate Logan asks herin the middle of study hall with everyone listeningwhether shes kissed anyone, she panics. She panics and lies, saying she has.

Afterward, Millie spirals. She hasnt only broken her most important rule, shes done it badly. Millies sure everyone knows she was fibbing. The only way out is to make reality catch up to her lies by changing her kiss status and getting a boyfriendas quickly as possible.

But Millies mission keeps getting foiled by Logan, who suddenly seems to be there at every turn. Millie starts to wonder why Logan cares so much in the first place. Could it be that when he asked about her first kiss, it wasnt to embarrass her at all
