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.

The writing style definitely falls within the young adult genre and lacks depth in this regard. However, the plot itself is beautiful, the characters lovable and if you need a good cry (without wading through major trauma) this is the book to pick up.

I did not enjoy this book as much as I’d hoped I would. Don’t get me wrong, I shed a few tears at the end of the book but that was all. The writing for me was way too cringeworthy, not realistic, tried to hard to make you love the characters. Boring book, had to force myself to finish it every time I put it down. Sadly, I wouldn’t recommend or read again.

I liked the concept of this book, needing to fulfill a thousand boy kisses as her mamaw's final adventure. With that in mind, I found the story to be a little dragged out and I honestly struggled to get through some of the book with some chapter being very long and the pacing of the book being rather slow.
I adored the love shown by both Poppy and Rune. Some quotes are stunning but I did find alot of the writing to be very sappy/cringe at times personally.
I also found that Rune was a bit immature in his behaviour and actions when things didn't turn out how he'd like. However, I loved how much he cared for Poppy and the lengths he went to make her happy.
I did end up crying within the last 20 pages, but I wasn't bawling.
