When I read the prolog I thought I was in for a cute book. Instead i found the main couple toxic
 The hole middle point was redundant.
I did really like the last two chapters though Rune had a brief pit of development and with the a thousand girl kiss jar I thought that I might like the ending. The epilogue ruined that for me. Having him die at 27 and reunite with poppy without growing outside their relation ship was not an ending I particularly enjoyed.
other than that I just didn't enjoy the writing style which is totally personal preference but the amount of time all the character said baby was just ridiculous. I see why some people might enjoy this book but I just didn't gell with the writing or the characters.

It would have been a sweet young love story if not for the creepy "I own these lips" parts. I know teenagers can be cringey but those parts just completely took me out of the story and made me feel icky. I stopped halfway through and don't plan to continue.
