Such an emotional read about Poppy and Rune. Whilst Poppy was very loveable, in my opinion Rune was less so, and parts of his behaviour I found it hard to let go of especially him distancing himself from his family particularly his little brother. Whilst you could see what was going to happen from way off, it was still an emotionally charged read. It is a young adult book, and I can see how popular this book is. a star off for Poppy, forgiving Rune too easily and Rune becoming a bad boy.... that said, it's a real tear jerker, so be prepared for tissue use.... great stuff if you wish to go through the ringer

Kinda sappy - seems like all the writing was one big constant string of meaningful looks and kisses and observations. And that's fine if you're in the mood for it. Sweet ending.

The narration here by PJ Ochlan and Katie Schorr was excellent. Their skill with accents was great.

Just.. Don't read this book in a public place (for me the train) if you want to avoid people asking you why you are crying. Not the pretty crying. The ugly crying that should be kept privately.
