So what does a young lad do if his mother decides to become a stripper? That’s the question at the heart of the YA title “When the Kissing Never Stops” and it’s made even harder for the teenage hero, Walker, because he is falling in love for the first time. In fact, hormones are zinging all over this little corner of Kansas – Walker’s, his friend Sully’s, his new girlfriend Rachel, his mum’s and all the guys who come to goggle at her in the tacky roadhouse where she works. Walker finds mental refuge by befriending a cornpoke farmer and working forty acres of land. Mom succeeds in her new job and meets a nice man, and, when Walker finally manages to bring himself to watch her act, he’s relieved to find it’s reasonably fun rather than utterly gross. Mind you, he’s lost his own virginity by then, and so perhaps is a little less interested in mom’s doings than he was. This witty book reflects the way real life seems to work out, and zippy dialogue and believable characters keep you reading all the way through.
