About Beth Reekles
Beth Reekles was born in Newport, Wales. She grew up there and went to Mount Pleasant Primary School. Later, she attended Bassaleg School. She also studied physics at Exeter University.
How She Started Writing
When Beth was 15, she started writing her first book, The Kissing Booth. She shared it online, chapter by chapter, on a website called Wattpad. She had read many stories about vampires and werewolves and wanted to write something different.
Her book quickly became very popular! In 2011, The Kissing Booth won a special award on Wattpad for being the most popular teen story. When Beth was 17, a big publisher called Penguin Random House offered her a deal to publish three of her books.
The Kissing Booth was officially published in 2012. After that, she published two more books: Rolling Dice and Out of Tune. In 2013, Time magazine named her one of "The 16 Most Influential Teens." In 2014, The Times newspaper also listed her as one of the "Top 25 under 20."
Her Books and Movies
The Kissing Booth book was made into a movie. The film, also called The Kissing Booth, came out on Netflix in 2018. It became very popular with viewers.
Because the first movie was such a hit, Beth wrote a sequel book, The Kissing Booth 2: Going the Distance, which was published in 2020. A movie based on this book, The Kissing Booth 2, also premiered on Netflix in the same year.
A third movie, The Kissing Booth 3: One Last Time, was released on August 11, 2021. A book with the same title was also released. Beth has continued to write new books, including Love, Locked Down in 2022 and Faking It in 2023.
