I have never had a book just completely wreck me in the first chapter. I cried and cried so hard all the way home once I started this audiobook. Once the first chapter ended it was hard to listen to. It seemed to drag on for a long while. But Rune and Poppy were still very lovable characters. I just wish there would have been a little more insight as to what was happening while Rune was away. I would have loved to know what he was actually up to. Or the reality of what was going on in Poppy's life.

When Poppy finally came clean about why she just up and vanished from Rune's life I understood the lack of knowledge in the book. I hated how angry Rune was at everyone including Poppy. The things that Rune did for Poppy to make those last few days everything she wanted and needed it to be. Being able to fulfill her dreams of going to New York, going to prom, watching the sun rise on the beach as well as filling her jar to its entirety. I still did not see the ending when it blindsided me.

This book may have had many instances where it was cliche but I believe that this book was meant for those who believe in eternal love. This book was made for those who believe in love at first sight and for those who love with all of their whole being.

Wow… this was a tough read. The courage, fight and strength these characters have. I will always remember this book. It was so sweet until it was heartbreaking. I highly recommend going in blind but look into triggers. I loved the concept of A Thousand Boy Kisses and the meaning behind it. Was such a sentimental moment that I appreciated. I loved the plot even though I was in pieces at the end. Also every page had a sentence that gripped me and hurt! Poppymin will always be on my mind when I think of this book.

This doesn’t get five stars and let me explain why.

I understand why people would DNF this. It’s not realistic even though we know it’s fiction. These characters loved so hard and were talking like adults at ages 15 and 17. Not to mention at age 5 things said and happened that I believe no five year old would do. Also it’s a bit repetitive on a lot of things and Juvenile.

So overall it would make sense these characters are teenagers.

But personally I pushed the realistic thoughts and age element to the side and overall enjoyed this read.

Thank you, Michael Joseph Penguin Publishing, for sending this book in exchange for an honest review. I have been wanting to read this for the longest time, I’ve heard many things about it but I tried to go into this with a clear mind and oh my god, my heart has been shattered.

One kiss lasts a moment. But a thousand kisses can last a lifetime. One boy. One girl. A bond that is forged in an instant and cherished for a decade. A bond that neither time nor distance can break. A bond that lasts forever. Or so they believe. This book has two points of views. The first one is Rune Kristiansen, he moved to America from Norway when he was five years old. He didn’t want to leave home and swore to not like America. That was before he met his neighbour who is Poppy Litchfield who sees everything good in the world and is eager to take her new best friend on a new adventure. From that day, they agree to be best friends. Before Poppy’s nana passed away, she gave Poppy a present and some advice. To have one thousand special kisses from the boys that made her heart burst. Whilst in grief, she was being comfort by Rune and their friendship became a relationship and they vowed that the thousand kisses will be only for them alone . . . until Rune is forced to go back to Norway for his father’s job, they vow to stay in touch as he will be home in two years. However, Poppy cuts him and completely ghosts him. So, when he returns, Rune is a different boy and he wants to know why he got cut off. But can Rune handle the truth? Will Poppy and Rune be able to be friends again? This is a standalone young adult contemporary romance.

This book broke my bloody heart. I loved it and it killed me as well. I loved the sunshine x grumpy dynamic in this book and I love Poppy. I want her outlook of the world, because she was always so happy and pleasant whilst going through the biggest thing of her life. This book makes me want to believe in love and soulmates. The Epilogue as well made me sob! I am glad Tillie Cole kept it in but Christ, I haven’t cried this much at a book since Me Before You.
