I went into this book having high expectations, I wasn’t disappointed however, the ending didn’t tear me up how i expected it to and the long chapters. 
I adored the writing in this book, it all seemed so poetic. The love story was sweet.

Slightly predictable but it’s a beautiful heartbreaking YA book.

A heartbreaking beginning , middle and ending. 

Rune and Poppy’s story was very much like The Fault In Our Stars but based in America.

I loved how we got to see Rune and Poppy's relationship from both perspectives, especially from childhood to the end since I'm a sucker for the childhood best friends to lovers trope. The story itself and the events that unfolded had definitely made me sob, I won't lie. But God, I HATED how Rune was written to be this broody, angsty, edgelord teenager. 😭 His narrative was so cringey at times that I HAD to put the book down from all the second-hand embarrassment and cringe that I felt.

This book broke me.  I cried my eyes out towards the end reading the letters within.  

I loved the unique concept of keeping a jar of one thousand kisses as it allowed a unique way to record memories of their young love. 
It dealt so well with themes of grief throughout. Both familial and romantic and it honestly hurt my heart these characters didn’t get their happy ending as they were made for each other but I cannot complain with how well versed this whole book was.
