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.

REVIEW

I don't know where to start 😭 and I'm run out of words for this incredible journey of love and heartache between Poppy and Rune. But I have 2 things to say though; first- I hate this book, y is that? Coz goddammit! While I'm reading, seems all I did is cry and cry and cry a lot till end resulting of my eyes became oh so puffy😢 secondly - I loved this, beyond no shadow of doubt, my heart breaks to witness how love can be so fierce, loyal and unbreakable that my heart bled for the stolen times and I utterly felt everything the words of love and strong emotions of the characters and the undeniable and unconditional love between the hero and heroine. Tillie Cole is such a spectacular and brilliant author and this book is absolutely the proof, a perfecto!👍 RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

It happened in stages.⁣

My father left.⁣

My twin sister died of an incurable autoimmune disease.⁣

My mother started breaking down.⁣

Then I was diagnosed with the very thing that took my other half from me.⁣

That was when I realized Mama’s eyes turned gold when she cried.⁣

So I moved in with my father and his new family—new wife, new son, new stepbrother.⁣

Kaiden Monroe made me feel normal.⁣

Hated. Cared for. Loathed. And … loved.⁣

Somewhere along the way, I’d found solace in the boy with brooding eyes.⁣

But everything happens in stages.⁣

And nothing good ever lasts.
