This book was beautifully written, and entirely gut-wrenching. I fell in love with the characters so quickly that I was already in tears by chapter 2. It’s a very emotional story but so well done that you have to love it.

Thoughts: This book completely tore me apart (IYKYK). If you need a good cry, this is the perfect book to read. It had been on my to-be-read list for the longest time, and I'm so glad I finally picked it up. The relationship between Rune & Poppy is incredibly pure and sweet. Tillie's writing beautifully captured the essence of the story, making it a truly unforgettable read.

Synopsis: One kiss lasts a moment. But a thousand kisses can last a lifetime. One boy. One girl. A bond that is forged in an instant and cherished for a decade. A bond that neither time nor distance can break. A bond that will last forever. Or so they believe. When seventeen-year-old Rune Kristiansen returns from his native Norway to the sleepy town of Blossom Grove, Georgia, where he befriended Poppy Litchfield as a child, he has just one thing on his mind. Why did the girl who was one half of his soul, who promised to wait faithfully for his return, cut him off without a word of explanation? Rune's heart was broken two years ago when Poppy fell silent. When he discovers the truth, he finds that the greatest heartache is yet to come. A stand-alone young adult tearjerker romance, recommended for ages fourteen and 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.
