My Review
This was a great sweet romance read.
The story is about Poppy and Rune, who meet as children when Rune moves next door. At the age of 8 Poppy's grandmother leaves her a jar with 1000 paper hearts each to record those heart stopping kisses. Poppy and Rune know they are meant to be together so they begin to fill the jar.
There is a major twist in the story early on and for that's where I got a little disconnected from the story for me, maybe because you know the outcomes. I didn't feel the emotions I thought I would and did skim over parts. I did love the relationship between Rune and Poppy that was super cute.
This more of a YA read and it's told from Duel POV.
