A Thousand Boy Kisses (Boy Kisses, 1)

"He kissed me until there was no part of me that didn't know who it belonged to. He kissed me until my heart again fused with his--two halves of one whole."

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 will last forever.

Or so they believe.

When seventeen-year-old Rune Kristiansen returns from his native Norway to the sleepy town of Blossom Grove, Georgia, where he befriended Poppy Litchfield as a child, he has just one thing on his mind. Why did the girl who was one half of his soul, who promised to wait faithfully for his return, cut him off without a word of explanation?

Rune's heart was broken two years ago when Poppy fell silent. But when he discovers the truth of her absence, he finds that the greatest heartache is yet to come.

This Bloom edition includes a special bonus epilogue.

Erm wow okay I knew it was going to be sad but Jesus Christ. Okay let me start by saying I’ve got a headache from reading this book and the amount of tears I’ve shed, can’t help but feel like I’ve been emotionally tortured for 2 days straight since I started the book. Anyway, the plot was okay, characters were okay, the conversations were super repetitive though, especially towards the end. Feel like I would have liked the book a lot more if they were adults that had known each other since 5 rather than teenagers. Some of the dialogue was cringe, you’re 17 years old bro not Socrates. The epilogue really threw me off as well like wtf? No explanation? It was kinda rushed at the end, that would have been way better if it was when he was like 85. I’ve never read anything so sad in my life and honestly, I’ll NEVER read this book again. Didn’t even like the plot that much.

I’m not ever sure how to rate this book… A thousand boy kisses…. More like a thousand ways to break your heart in to pieces. I’m so angry with the ending it was so not happy and it didn’t give me the peace i wanted.. It was truly a great story but it ripped my heart out and I low key never want anyone to ever read it. It’s only receiving a 7 because it was a very well written story
