A Thousand Boy Kisses Review, Quotes, Excerption byTillie Cole

SO SPECIAL, as special as special can be.

They met since young. 'Poppy and Rune, best friends for infinity!'
Rune. Age five. From Norway to America. Rune Erik Kristiansen hated to come to America. And Poppy is what made it good.
Poppy and Rune were inseparable. But then, one day Poppy had to leave Rune. Rune doesn't know why. Poppy doesn't let Rune know.

[MAJOR ANGST ALERT]

I warned y'all. So, brace yourself if you decided to read anyway.

Poppy left Rune for two years without a word, a letter but they met again anyway.

“Does it matter?” I asked, my voice low. Poppy’s paper heart was still in my hand, the significance of it almost scalding my skin.
The promise of our lips.
The promise of our halved hearts.
Forever always.
Poppy slowly began to shake her head, but then, shoulders slumping, she nodded once. “Yes,” she whispered, “it matters. It shouldn’t. I set you free.” She dropped her head. “But it does. It matters more than you’d understand.”
She was wrong. I understood why it mattered so much. It did to me too.

Of course, they will re-unite again.

"The universe is right again only when Poppy and Rune got back together again."

What makes this book good is... the writing. It's not the plot. It's the moments of the characters together.
This book is 'bittersweet'. Like I said, you'll get a lot of angst and also a lot of fluffs all heart and flowers and kisses. And you can't describe the feeling after you read the book with words. It's indescribable. I could reveal all the spoilers and plot, you would know the book but trust me, it's not the same.
The writing is gold.

AND THE ENDING... god, the ending is beautiful.
That's all I am gonna give you. You can guess but you'll never know ;)

Quotessss~~~

Why be miserable when you can be happy? It’s an obvious choice to me.

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.

A single moment could change the world. It could change someone's life. That one moment could make someone's life, in that brief second, infinitely better or infinitely worse.
