I didn’t enjoy this book I found it hard to get through the characters hard to relate to and there was a lot of soppy romance scenes that made me cringe

Ik vond het een mooi boek. Het begin was meteen al erg heftig. Ze kreeg de taak van haar oma 1000 boy kisses te verzamelen. Het midden van het boek vond ik een beetje saai maar, dat veranderde al snel toen ze opeens vertelde dat ze ziek was. Poppy en Rune deden er samen alles aan om haar laatste wensen te vervullen: de perfecte zonsopgang kijken, dansen bij prom (met rune), the blossom grove nog 1 keer in bloei zien en de pot met a thousand boy kisses compleet te maken. Ik laatste vond ik erg zielig en mooi tegelijk. Rune kon nu voor altijd bij Poppy blijven. Ik vind het bijzonder dat ik niet heb moeten huilen maar, ik heb wel met tranen in me ogen gelezen.

I opened this book without a clue what it was about at first and I was floored when I found out.   I absolutely loved it though.    It was beautiful.  I find it hard to write reviews without spoilers, but just know I highly recommend this book, just make sure you have a box of tissues rrady!!!

I enjoyed this book a lot. It didn’t take me long to finish. I read it a lot quicker than I anticipated. The story itself is beautiful, heartbreaking, and enjoyable to read. However, it lost points in the rating because as enjoyable and beautiful a story it was, it was also cringey beyond belief. Some of the things said by the two main characters were just so crazy to me. I’m all for deep, passionate, and beautiful love. But there are lines where it turns from beautiful to cringey and over the top. It also lost points for the INCREDIBLY long chapters. However, still an amazing yet gut-wrenching read.

Took me a really long time to read because of the small writing, but i liked it. It took me like a year to read it (big gaps in between reading sessions) because it was kinda boring and repetitive in the writing. Way to much dialogue. I feel like they ask and answer the same questions so many times. Its very cheesy, especially the two main characters. They are always in a super emotinal mood like in the way they talk to eachother. Never seem to lighten up. 

But i did enjoy finally finishing the book and it was very emotinal, i actually shed a few tears which i have never done while reading before. I would recommend this book if u like a lot of dialogue and romance and if youre a teenager like me. Actually its kinda cheesy even for me and im only 13

I physically couldn’t because my mom died of cancer. I have cried this entire book. It’s so good but I am so sad and only made it 70 pages literally. Be prepared to cry and cry and cry.
