THE last installment of the popular Kissing Booth series, written by Newport's Beth Reekles, premiered on Netflix today, August 11.

The publication of a book based on the screenplay has also been released. 

The novelisation of the film is by former Rogerstone resident, Beth Reekles, who rose to prominence with The Kissing Booth which she wrote as a hobby when she was 15 years old.

Her work got the attention of publishers Random House and The Kissing Booth was published as a paperback in 2013 and made into a Netflix film in 2018 – there is also a sequel (book and film) called The Kissing Booth 2: Going The Distance.
