Review: A Thousand Boy Kisses - Tillie Cole
Review:A Thousand Boy Kisses - Tillie Cole - March 2016
This book has been one that I have
wanted and been meaning to read for years, ever since it was first released,
however as life happens and all readers know - new books are released and
others take priority and they slowly get forgotten about until they don't as it
pops back up on your radar and you are like I am going to read it now. That was
Tillie Cole's A Thousand Boy Kisses and OMG I did not know too much about it what
an emotional ride it would take me on it packs the emotional punch. The first
death happens earlier on in the book which sets up the theme of A Thousand Boy
Kisses between best friends Poppy and Rune. Then one day when the pair are 15
years old - Rune's family ends up returning to Norway. During this time,
something happens and Poppy cuts off all contact with Rune. Expecting never to
see him again but alas the family moved back next door two years later and they
are now 17 years old. Rune has changed into an angry man when Poppy cuts off
contact with him- it breaks him and he becomes hardened and all the darkness
starts to seep inside of him. Seeing him again breaks Poppy as now she has to
tell him the reason, yet she doesn't want to cause more pain to an already
hurting Rune. This happens on page 118 and OMFG break out the tissues during
this page as I don't normally cry in books but this page had me tearing up and
then just as things start getting happy again - we have another sad moment and
then that darn epilogue which I had to read twice. I even had to come out after
reading this book to the lounge and get a hug from my partner as I felt
emotional and needed comfort. I think part of it too is because it hit closer
to home as my sister is currently dying and we don't know how long she has got
but boy this book was like WOW and will leave an impact on everyone who reads
it.
