Despite the title, this book is not just about kissing boys. The real drama lies in the girl taking kissing lessons from her next door neighbor and falling for him. She is doing this because it all falls into her ludicrous master plan of being placed on the varsity soccer team. The protagonist is a junior in high school and has played soccer all of her life. In her freshman and sophomore years, she placed on the junior varsity level and assumed she'd be moved up the next year. She is in a great state of consternation whence she realizes she is still on the junior varsity level due to a lack of room for her on the higher level. To make matters worse, the girl's arch nemesis made the real varsity level and reminds the girl of this every day. This madness ensues when the girl is tormented every day in the hallways. The main character wants to change this by getting the hottest boy in town to come to a school event and approach the varsity girls' soccer kissing booth. There, he will demand that he kiss the main character for three hundred dollars. According to the girl, this will work perfectly and make the coach put her on the team to gain money for the team.
