“Rune?” Poppy said quietly from beside me. “Yeah, baby?” I replied softly. She turned her pretty face to me and cast me a weak smile. “You okay?” I asked, grazing my hand down her face. “I’m getting tired,” she admitted, reluctantly. My heart cracked. Over the past week, I had begun to see tiredness gradually creeping into her face when she’d done too much. And worse still, I could see how much she hated it. Because it prevented her from enjoying all life’s adventures. “It’s okay to be tired, Poppymin. It’s not a weakness.”

A THOUSAND BOY KISSES (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐)

Author: Tillie Cole Date: June 29, 2024

( credits to the rightful owner of the photo ) A compilation of thoughts, moments, phrases, and dialogues that I like from the book.

“Poppy and Rune for infinity.”

“I love you, Poppymin. Forever always.”

“Remember, moonbeam hearts and sunshine smiles…”

“Poppymin! It means my Poppy. For infinity, forever and always. You’re MY Poppy!”

“Kiss me at thirty-nine thousand feet. Kiss me in the sky. Kiss me amongst the clouds.”

“I’ll give you a thousand kisses, Poppymin. All of them. No one will kiss you ever, but me.”

“You’re my everything, Rune Kristiansen, I hope you know that.”

“My kisses are all yours. No one will ever have these lips but you.”

“Kiss number three hundred and fifty-six. With my Rune on his driveway … when he left me.”

“I’ll see you in your dreams.” “I’ll see you in my dreams.”

“There you are,” she said, so quietly I almost missed it. “My Rune.”

“My heaven will be you and me in the blossom grove. Like always. Forever seventeen.”

“Poppy and Rune. Two halves of the same whole. Reunited at last. When it matters most.”

“I still want you the same, Poppymin, even if you don’t want me.”

“Poppymin, you have me. You’ll always have me.”

“I had to make sure it happened. This time, I had to carry you.”

“I love you, Rune Kristiansen. With all of my heart. I cannot wait to see you in your dreams.”

“I think I’d trade all the sunrises if it meant I got to wake up like this, with you.”

“When you’re near, my heart doesn’t sigh, it soars.”

“Plus, if my heart breaks, so does yours, remember?”

“And Rune, there would be no heaven if you weren’t back in my arms someday. ”

“Sleep, baby. I got you.” And he did. He had me. Just like I had him.

“Here I am,” she echoed, “so completely in love with you.”

“Remember, the one thousandth kiss is to be when I go home.”

“Kiss four hundred and thirty-four, with my Rune at the beach … when his love came home.”

“Because I love her. I love her more than I could ever explain. My single set of footprints in the sand.”

“A forever kiss with my Rune … in our blossom grove … when he finally came home.”

“I’m Poppy Litchfield and you’re Rune Kristiansen. This is a handshake. My mamaw told me it’s what you do when you don’t know somebody. Now we’re friends. Best friends.”

“I’m half a heart. This, who I am now, was due to a life devoid of you. This darkness, this anger, was born from you not being by my side. Poppymin. My adventurer. My girl.”

“I’ve wanted to kiss you for a while now. And well, you’re mine and I liked it. I liked kissing you. You tasted like sugar.”

“I’ve loved my life. Everything. And I’ve loved you. As clichéd as this sounds, it was always enough. You were always the best part of my every day. You were the reason for my every smile.”

“This life … well, it’s just a great big adventure while we have it. An adventure to enjoy and love with all of our heart before we go on to the greatest adventure of all.”

“You carried me. In my hardest times, when I couldn’t walk … you carried me through.” “Always,” Rune managed to reply hoarsely. “Forever always.”

“Have I been enough for you too?” The gruff tone of Rune’s voice caused my heart to break, but I nodded softly. “More than anything,” I confirmed and, with a smile, added just for him, “You’ve been as special as special can be.”

“You may feel you’ll lose half of your heart when I go, but that doesn’t give you permission to live half of a life. And half your heart will not be gone. Because I’ll always be walking beside you. I’ll always be holding your hand. I’m woven into the fabric of who you are—just as you will always be attached to my soul. You’ll love and laugh and explore … for both of us.”

“Because Poppymin was just like the cherry blossom, Alt. She only had a short life, like they do, but the beauty that she brought in that time will never ever be forgotten. Because nothing so beautiful can last forever. She was a blossom petal, a butterfly … a shooting star … she was perfect … her life was short … but she was mine.” I took in a breath and whispered finally, “Just as I was hers.”

I only saw Poppy. In my world, only she existed.

I broke my heart for the heart I’d just broken.

She knew she had me, just as much as I had her. We were all we needed.

I loved Rune’s hugs, he always held me so tight.

It was apt that Poppy left the same day that the cherry blossoms lost their petals too.

It was her company I craved; the only place I ever wanted to be was with her.

She told me that the best and prettiest things never stay around for long.

Though my life had been short, I had loved long. And in the end, this was enough.

I was sure that if I’d listened closely to the howling wind rushing by, I would have heard Poppy’s lips break into a wide smile as she danced her way home.

Lowering myself to her mouth, I pressed the softest, most meaningful kiss to her soft lips. Poppy breathed out through her nose, her sweet scent engulfing me … and she never breathed again.

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.

Notes - I like how the book starts out with the boys point of view. Poppy and Rune make such a cute friendship. I can't explain it but i love how cute they are together, and i like how it sets up their relationship. Poppy's grandmother dying is a somber scene, and i think its played out well with poppy not understanding what's happening. Her grandmother gives her the thousand boy kisses jar, and her first entry was Rune. It was cutely set up, and i liked it. The time skip was a bit jarring for me because i was still imagining them as YOUNG kids. The reveal that Rune has to move away from Georgia and leave poppy behind was tough. He's only 15 so he has no say in the matter. The sex scene was sensual and soft, especially for minors. I don't necessarily LIKE when people write about people under the age of 16 sleeping together, but also, minors aren't chaste and it's not my place to shame anyone. For me it's actually harder to connect with these characters. I'm introduced and I'm shown their relationship, but I'm not given any reason to root for them. It all happens so fast, including the sex scene, and it's all very unexpected to me. Jumping to the future establishes our current issue of: Poppy ghosted him and now Rune is coming back to America and they have to talk face to face. It's a toughie. Rune changing while being in Norway was an interesting character development that i wasn't expecting. He comes back to America at 17, and he's just a different person. Poppy doesn't know if she truly loves him anymore, or at least, who he's become. The confrontation scene between Rune and Poppy was tense and emotional. The reveal that Poppy had cancer and didn't want to tell him is so shocking and sad. She didn't want to hurt him, so she ghosted him. The talk of Rune having to grieve while Poppy is still alive is really hard. He can't cope with the fact that she's dying but poppy has already accepted it. Seeing Rune struggle with behavioral issues is also very interesting to me because i think its written accurately. there's a cause and a trigger, and it causes outbursts. it's something that can be worked through. Watching him change as he interacts with poppy more is also fascinating. He wants to be better for her, and he's working to be a better person to him family, and to his little brother. The plane ride kisses were so sweet and I'm FINALLY INVESTED. it took me forever but i finally get it. The entire New York City trip was sweet, but it's sad that Rune felt he can't do much after poppy dies because it was something they do together. Rune finally breaking apart and coping with poppy dying took forever, but it made sense that it took him time. The return back is so emotional, and her collapsing and Rune carrying her is so shocking. It made me tear up. Rune's father trying to comfort him in his own way at the hospital was kind. They've got a tense relationship but it was sweet. Mr. Litchfield, Poppy's fathers words to Rune were so amazing. Him supporting him and giving him his blessing in lack of a better term-- i love it. a lot. Poppy getting sick and losing the ability to walk was sad. This entire book is sad and somber, obviously. Rune, Ruby, and her other friends getting prom to happen for poppy was amazing. He's become such a good guy, and i love how this is all played out. The footprints in the sand made me cry. I'm spiritual in my own way, and it sticks with me. Her death hits hard out of all the character deaths I've read. The way he counts the kisses past 1000 and finishes the hearts, and the way "my heart completely bursts" changes context with her death made me cry. Hard. I can't believe how hard this book hit me. The letter and package that Poppy created before she died was amazing. It also hits hard, but instead, for Rune. He deserved this closure, or at least, the beginning of grieving. the 1000 girl kisses jar, and her expecting him to move on was unexpected. Rune dying at the end was somber again and i like the way it was handled.

Book description taken from Goodreads:

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.

This book...it broke my heart, repeatedly 💔 I found the main characters Rune and Poppy so easy to love. Though this book is heart-wrenching, the message in this book is beautiful 🌸 It's a reminder not to take the small things for granted. Take notice of all the beauty around you. My cousin said it best, her take away was this, "It just goes to show that people going through the worst in life can absolutely have a positive outlook and truly live life like it's their last day" I loved this book, but be warned ⚠️ it is a tearjerker. I felt emotionally exhausted when I finished it. I cried multiple times 😭 "and my heart almost burst."

"Mil Beijos de Garoto - Tillie Cole Sinopse-Um beijo dura um instante. Mas mil beijos podem durar uma vida inteira. Um garoto. Uma garota. Um vínculo que é definido num momento e se prolonga por uma década. Um vínculo que nem o tempo nem a distância podem romper. Um vínculo que vai durar para sempre. Ao menos era o que eles imaginavam. Quando, aos dezessete anos, Rune Kristiansen retorna da Noruega para o lugar onde passou a infância, a cidade americana de Blossom Grove, na Geórgia , ele só tem uma coisa em mente: reencontrar Poppy Litchfield, a garota que era sua cara-metade e que tinha prometido esperar fielmente por seu retorno. E ele quer descobrir por que, nos dois anos em que esteve fora, ela o deletou de sua vida sem dar nenhuma explicação. Minha Opinião: Este livro estava da minha lista do @skoobnews fazia um tempinho. Eu nem tinha lido a sinopse, posso dizer que ele me ganhou pela capa, um pote e vários corações. Como todo começo de ano eu tenho bloqueio literário e a única coisa que faz o bloqueio sumir, é lendo poemas, sim li 3 livros de poemas, e na hora de decidir minha próxima leitura, olhei bem e senti que estava na hora de ler este livro. Um romance calminho. Mas no final, me debulhei em mil lágrimas. Essas estória de mocinha com o melhor amigo/ bad boy.... Ah, lembrei do livro/ filme "Um Amor para Recordar", do titio @nicolassparks. Fui fundo e me entreguei a este livro, que é uma doçura. Meninas de plantão: se forem lê-lo, peguem os lencinhos!!! #livro #book #booklovers @authortilliecole https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn6JHMyuNhE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
