Will start reading it soon

Yep. Good read and good book. I cried a lot though. 😂

Really moving book, that made my heart to pieces. The very sweet prologue immediately gave me a big smile, but then, in each chapter, I found something that made me cry. Because the story of Poppy and Rune is, first of all, the story of an epic love, of an all-encompassing, infinite, eternal love. It is the quintessential love story and it becomes difficult for anyone to compare.The story of Poppy and Rune begins when, at the age of 5, he moves to America with his family. Rune is a grumpy child, sad to have left Norway, his home and friends, but he just needs to meet his new neighbor, a very sweet little girl with a muddy dress, to find out how nice it will be to stay in Georgia. But it will be at the age of 8, when they are now two inseparable best friends, that their most important adventure begins, that of a lifetime. Poppy, at the suggestion of her adored grandmother, will have to fill a jar with a thousand hearts, one for each kiss she will give and will be given. But only the special kisses, the ones that will almost make her heart explode, will have to be inserted to become her best memories. And that's where Rune comes in, because she can't let, now or ever, anyone else kiss her Poppymin. It will be he and only he who will give her all the thousand kisses she deserves, and even more.It is no secret that this is a difficult story to read, extremely intense and shocking. And it is also true that, given the topics covered, it is not a story for everyone. As many assumptions can be made, however, the plot doesn't reveal much and I won't either, because it would mean ruining the pleasure of reading for those who haven't done it yet. But I also understand those who would like to be prepared, so my advice is to inform you first, if you are not sure you can tackle a certain type of reading. In any case, it will be an intense read for everyone, for better or for worse, because it is impossible to remain indifferent to a story that releases love and pain, joy and sadness on every page. And if someone manages not to let himself be touched, then don't tell me how he does it, because living a book so intensely is the most beautiful joy of reading.The ending is definitely the sore point, what most disagreed with the readers. I didn't share some details, that's for sure, but I'm also convinced that it's the right ending. Anything else wouldn't have truly done justice to the great love between Poppy and Rune. You may like it or not, but Tillie Cole has managed not to disappoint and to be daring at the same time, she has made the easy decision, but also the most difficult one. And even if this reading has left me swollen eyes, the lump every time I think about it and has taken a part of my heart that I will never get back, it is a book that I would read again for the first time without any doubt. I want to remember all the kisses, all the sweet words, all the romantic gestures and it will always remain a special book, like only what special things can be. And finally my heart burst.

I forgot how many boxes of tissues were wasted on this

i've read some reviews on this book. I boyght it for its story line. I haven't really read it yet however the packaging of the book was great. Came in great condition w/o any defects in the book :)

I read Raze last year and disliked it very much. Not my kind of read at all. So I didn't think I would be reading any of Cole's books again. But I gave in when I found out this was totally different. And to be honest...have you seen the cover?!The first chapter in, I thought I wasn't goint to like it. It's sometimes hard to look past our convictions but I'm so glad I kept reading.I'm glad I'm not a cryer too because I would probably have cried the whole time. This book is as heartbreaking as it is beautiful. So when I'm asked if I liked it or not, I don't know what to say. I hated it and I loved it all at the same time.Cole's words are powerful and gripping. I was stunned by the beauty of those words.I could go on and on as to why you should read it but why don't you just find out yourself? It's worth every minute of your time.And at the end of the day, I gave it a 5 special stars. Special as special they can be.

I was not even a hundred pages into this story; I already wanted to bawl my eyes out, and I knew that this would be a new favourite.This story reminded me of one of my already favourite novels, Alannah Carbonneau's Teach Me To Live. Both surround the idea of living and cherishing life to the fullest extent. Both also had me in tears."Rune, you live right next door, you're a Vikings and I just love Vikings. I think we should be best friends.""Best friends?"A Thousand Boy Kisses follows the main characters, Poppy and Rune. They have been friends best friends ever since Rune moved from Norway into the house next door to Poppy when they were five years old.Ever since then, they have been hip-to-hip, twenty-four seven.✧✧✧Until Rune, his family has to move back to Norway because of his father's job.And at first, they continued communicating because they promised they would keep in touch. Poppy and Rune were only fifteen, but they were in love, making their way, collecting kisses. But they lost connection when one day, out of the blue, Poppy stops returning Rune's messages, his calls, everything. And they both lost each other.✧✧✧Fast forward to the present, two years after Rune's departure, and now he is back in town, moving right back into the house next to Poppy's. Completely changed, Rune is not who he was when he left for Norway, and he is destined to find out why Poppy cut him out of his life. And the secret will tear him apart.Main Characters:✧ Poppy is so uplifting. She sees the good and always thinks of others. She helped to mend Rune when she was falling apart. Poppy has a talent for music and loved to perform."Here I am, so completely in love with you."✧ Rune is the sweetest towards Poppy. He would do anything to make sure Poppy was happy and comfortable and just to see her smile. Rune has a talent for photography and was always taking pictures to remember the special times."Are you scared, Poppymin? Because I'm terrified. I'm terrified of what the hell life looks like without you."Other Characters: Rune's father:✧ Rune's father is so thoughtful. Also, the entire reason why I have designated this section specifically for him. Even though Rune pushed him away because he was the reason they had to move back to Norway, away from his Poppymin, he never stopped helping Rune achieve his goals and that — that healed and filled my heart.Poppy & Rune's relationshipLike I said previously, their relationship began at the tender age of five, and they have loved each other probably ever since then. The extent of things they would do for each other to make them happy is heartening and magical. And I am overjoyed that they got the happily ever after they deserved."For infinity.""Forever always." :)
