I picked this one up because of TikTok. This was one of those books that I knew absolutely nothing about before I started. All I knew was that I was going to cry. And cry and cry.

In reality, I teared up, I get why people would cry, but it just wasn't quite it for me. The writing style wasn't my favourite and it felt way too predictable for me (not that I wanted some big crazy twist or anything, it just feels like I've read this story a hundred times before).

Isn't the first time TikTok has built a book up too much for me so that reading it is actually a bit of a letdown, and I know it won't be the last time.

A thousand book kisses is a YA romance that follows Poppy and Rune . I think it's best to read this book going in blind . Just know , I've never cried so hard reading a book before . With that said , read this book!

Personally I wasn't a fan but I can see how others could be. Teenage boys are brats and that is frustrating to read.
