A THOUSAND BOY KISSES

-

Hello fellow readers and welcome back!

A few years ago I read A Thousand Boy Kisses by Tillie Cole. The book was incredibly sad and if you feel like reading something that will make you feel you should definitely pick this one up. The book takes you through their journey on how young kids find love and learn how to love each other in different ways. 

SUMMARY- 

Poppy and Rune met at the small town of Blossom Grove, Georgia when they were children. As time went by and their friendship grew they became inseparable. They end up having stronger feelings for each other than friendship. Learning how to love, loving, and having forever. The only thing is that life throws them a curveball and they have to learn how to deal with the fact that they might not have forever in the end. To cope with the news her mom gives her a jar to fill with a thousand kisses.

This book was so heart wrenching and so good at the same time. However, I was not a fan of the writing at the beginning. I thought it was too childish at times but as I kept reading I understood that the reason for the writing being like that is to understand that Poppy views life differently than others. 

FAVORITE QUOTE- 

"Kiss 1000

    With Poppymin.  

    When she returned home. 

    My heart completely burst." (Cole, 268)
