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.

Tillie Cole, a northern girl through and through, originates from a place called Teesside in Great Britain, and is the daughter of an English mother and Scottish father. A graduate of Newcastle University, she taught secondary-school social studies for seven years before resettling with her husband in Canada. She writes contemporary romance, dark romance, young adult novels, and new-adult fiction.

P. J. Ochlan is an Audie Award–winning, multiple Earphones Award–winning, and Voice Arts Award–nominated narrator of hundreds of audiobooks. His acting career spans more than thirty years and has also included Broadway, the NY Shakespeare Festival under Joseph Papp, critically acclaimed feature films, and television series regular roles.

Katie Schorr is an actor and writer in New York. Her one-woman show, Take Me. Seriously, ran for six months at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater, and she performs throughout New York in new works at the Ensemble Studio Theatre and Ars Nova, among other theaters. She has appeared on VH1’s Best Week Ever and costars in the web series Head in the Oven with Saturday Night Live actor Bill Hader. Her audiobook credits include narrating the novels in Alyson Noel’s bestselling Immortals series. Of her work on the series, AudioFile magazine has said, “Narrator Katie Schorr has a wonderfully raspy, youthful voice, which she puts to good effect on the cast of teenage characters.”

Reviews

“Tillie Cole ripped my heart out and then put it back together with a thousand kisses. Her writing is achingly beautiful and brilliant beyond words. Consider yourself warned: A Thousand Boy Kisses will leave you wrecked in the best way possible.”

“I highly recommend this book with all my heart. Be prepared to ugly cry. Possibly more than once. I can almost guarantee that you’ll be full-out sobbing at some point. But know that it is absolutely worth every single tear, because the ending was more beautiful than I could ever have imagined.”

"From the funny to the gritty, from the emotional to the uncomfortable, we’re convinced there is nothing this lady can’t write…This is the most beautiful, emotional, and stunningly written love story we’ve ever read…This book is as special as special can be.”
