They captured my heart since the beginning of their story. Reading this as someone who will be turning 20 this year and has not been romantically involved with anyone in years, their love made my heart ache for the teenage loved I never achieved. Being so young, yet capable of loving someone so completely and genuinely and having that love returned to you tenfold is a rare treasure. I teared up in the beginning, cried in the middle, and bawled at the end. I will admit being a 19 year old, there were times I felt uncomfortable reading about their love at 15 and 17 as I no longer saw myself with the same young innocence as them. Thankfully it was never taken too far. There were at points, where I grew tired of reading how every kissed they shared felt or how it was achieved. Just me, yet again feeling uncomfortable about reading 17 year olds shove their tongues down each otherās throats. But I do understand their importance, hence the bookās name, āA Thousand Boy Kissesā. It did genuinely bother me how cold hearted Rune was towards his papa, though I fully understood his hurt, I also understood that his father was ultimately not responsible for his jobās decisions and could not throw his source of income away to let his son stay with his girlfriend. *spoiler* I was extremely happy when Rune opened his heart back up to him. *spoiler* Admittedly, I was sad that Rune died so young, I wished he lived longer but I had a hunch he would never live a long life after Poppy died. He loved her too much to be away from her so long. This was a sad, but good read. A story of two young souls, who shared a love for each other that people spend their entire lifetime searching for.

Have a large box of tissues ready. This book may break you. I donāt think Iāve ever cried this much or so hard over a book in my life. A beautiful, but heart wrenching story that Iāll never forget.

The epilogue came out of nowhere for me! Like WHAT?
I felt highs and lows in this book.
Poppyās letter at the end felt out of place especially for teenagers but I had to take several breaks while reading this book because the emotional damage this book causes is intense.
I have decided this is the modern day āA walk to rememberā.
