A Thousand Boy Kisses by Tillie Cole

5.0

Don't mind me, I've just been (not so discreetly) bawling my eyes out for the past two days.

Letting my heart get ripped out by this book? Yea sure, I guess I didn't need it that much anyway.


This book has:

A romance so epic with a love so pure, suffering a fate so unfair.

Hauntingly real characters with piercing character arcs, invoking a true connection and deep-rooted attachment.

A writing-style remarkably poignant featuring symbolism that will touch the soul.

A plot stunningly beautiful, yet devastatingly heart-breaking.


“Why does it take a life ending to learn how to cherish each day? Why must we wait until we run out of time to start to accomplish all that we dreamed, when once we had all the time in the world? Why don’t we look at the person we love the most like it’s the last time we will ever see them? Because if we did, life would be so vibrant. Life would be so truly and completely lived.”


Yup. I'll definitely be crying some more.

And then still some more.

And even more.
