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.
