A thousand book kisses is a YA romance that follows Poppy and Rune . I think it's best to read this book going in blind . Just know , I've never cried so hard reading a book before . With that said , read this book!

Personally I wasn't a fan but I can see how others could be. Teenage boys are brats and that is frustrating to read.

Didn't like it. The premise was very odd to begin with (Grandma told me a life isn't worth living unless I kiss someone 1000 times?) - and the characters were so annoying and unlikeable that I actually was glad for the ending. I forced myself to finish the book because I had predicted how it was going to end and oh my god I was right, but it was still awful.
The author tried so very hard to make this a tragic star-crossed lovers story but Rune was the most annoying, misogynistic, selfish brat. Meanwhile, Poppy had literally no personality and was "not like other girls." They had zero chemistry and their whole relationship was forced because they were childhood friends?
The entire conflict during the time skip was such garbage too. Hated both characters and how they acted.
I didn't think it was cute or romantic or anything. Don't waste your time.
13hrs, 1min.
