I loved this so much! It was beautiful and heartbreaking.
 
  • Poppy is the perfect protagonist and I love how deep her relationship is with Rune.
  • The fact that this was largely inspired by One Direction songs is obviously a bonus.
  • The scenes in New York were stunning and emotional.
  • The way Rune treated his parents was just A LOT and was pretty uncalled for. Both families seemed pretty financially comfortable, not to mention Poppy’s aunt is a flight attendant. I have to imagine they would’ve let Rune and Poppy visit each other every so often. 
  • Rune never kissing another person and dying only 11 years after Poppy just seems impossible and tainted this story a bit for me.

Very emotional. You will cry a lot while reading this book because their love is so pure and wholesome. 
Also it says a lot about enjoying your life while you have it and making the most of every experience. Also of just being happy and positive, seeing the beauty in life while it’s still there.
