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 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.

“Well I have it on good authority that she wants a little more bad boy in her life”

I feel like this quote alone is enough for everyone to understand how cringe this book was. You’ll hear “baby” over a million times & it just feels so unauthentic for teenagers. I almost added it to my DNF list but I couldn’t bear to ruin my book streak lmao. I also listened to the audiobook and I must warn you to never ever listen to that. I had to listen to 4 different accents for 2 characters. 🙃

This is almost as bad as A Little Life. I was abused, I have not cried this hard in months. 
The book is very evidently YA, especially from the way it is written, and from the unrealistic portrayal of the relationship, but I loved it nonetheless. The pain this book caused me will require therapy.

I am so sorryyyyy, I really did push off on reading this book because of all the love it got. 
I just personally didn't like the non communication in this book. He was so good to her beyond reality, all she did was lie and hurt this poor man. I am sorry but I just didn't like how the love interest went. 

Here are my notes throughout 

Ch6
- why wouldn’t you wanna know where he stands. Stop avoiding him and see if he stood by his word and loves you like he did then 
Ch7
- Better not to tell him and pretend I wasn’t interested 🤮 let the man be, he loved you and you just MIA on him. You deserve the cold shoulder from him right now 
- Poppy mein?? Dude she ghosted you and your just gonna let her back in after her first sign of heartache. What about you and how you felt??
Ch8 
- seriously, you’re dying of a chronic disease and the man who loves you is just finding out. Wtf is your problem 🙄
