This book was truly heartbreaking and waayyyyy better than the first one. You could just feel the pain and suffering of Savannah and Cale throughout the story. I listened to the audiobook and this came in twice as hard. The build-up and pace of the story was right and the love felt like a realistic development. Their love didn't feel like a rush, but truly developed. Only in the middle did it start to get a bit too drawn out and I was a bit stuck in a slump.

DO NOT make the same mistake I did. I decided to listen to this audiobook… AT WORK. Luckily, I was the only one in the building and sobbed for the entire last third of this book. I should’ve known better because A Thousand Boy Kisses was fantastic (and also required a lot of Kleenex). If you love YA novels that feel incredibly realistic, with romance, and development and growth of characters - this is it. This was a fabulous wrap up of ATBK. I will probably never recover from this duology and desperately need this to be made for TV/movie. I rarely rate my GIR a 10, but this duology needs to be read by anyone who’s ever lost a loved one.
