Trope Thursday: Tragic Endings 💔 Featuring A Thousand Boy Kisses

Some romances give you butterflies, others give you scars. A Thousand Boy Kisses by Tillie Cole is the kind of story that leaves a permanent mark on your heart. It’s a tale of young love that feels timeless, of promises that seem unbreakable—until life steps in with its cruel twists.

Poppy and Rune’s love is pure, fierce, and beautifully innocent, but also fleeting. Their journey shows us that even a love cut short can be more powerful than a lifetime of “almosts.” It’s heartbreaking, unforgettable, and the kind of book you’ll never forget, even when it hurts too much to reread.
