this book was so so good, it was emotional at times but even with that, the book was written beautifully and always will be one of my favourite books i’ve read. the characters are so real in the book and the way everything plans out and in a way they get their happily ever after is so so cute and would a thousand percent recommend this book to anyone

This is a five-star read you will need the tissues for, but it is such a good story that even if you need a whole box of tissues, you still won’t be able to forget this story. I have loved this author, and a thousand boy kisses still has the ability to bring me to tears when I think about it and recommend it to people as one of the best stories ever, and this is going to do exactly the same. There was just something special about the way this story weaves. June and Jesse will envelop you into their story, and make you feel like you can’t help but root for them in any way possible. No matter the timeline, you feel for them, team two for the win will be something that will stay with me forever. I loved how this story flowed and managed to bring something for everyone, I don’t want to tell the end, but it broke me and put me back together, and if I’m honest it broke me in a beautiful way that I feel will help me put some pieces back together as well, pieces that have been broken after losing someone so close to me I feared I would never be whole again, this story has the power to help those pieces start to move closer together again, only a teeny tiny amount, but still any movement is worth it for me. This author has a way with words that have a special magic, that puts pieces of your broken heart back together again.

OMG - this is a heartbreaking but beautiful story of first love and finding your soulmate when life has thrown you a curve ball.This is the stunning but emotional tale of June Scott meeting Jesse Taylor. They both hoped Harmony Ranch would change their lives but neither expected what happened. They found friendship and love while fighting to survive. It’s not often a book brings me to tears but this one had me reaching for the tissues. Even though I realised what was going to happen, I had my fingers crossed on the outcome for this wonderful couple and loved their alternative HEA. The ending is heart wrenching but brought their story to the conclusion that fitted their love for each other. “Write me for you. In your great love story. Fall for me.” He pressed his forehead against mine. “Allow me to fall for you. Write me for you.” We meet June first and find out she has been battling a terminal illness but all treatment has now failed. She is suddenly offered an opportunity to be on a clinical trial. She arrives at Harmony Ranch with high hopes even though it’s probably her last chance of survival. She joins seven other teenagers all diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia but the moment she bumps into Jesse her world is turned upside down. He’s charming and cheeky with a great sense of humour but she’s confused by his interest in her as he’s an up and coming footballer and she’s a shy introvert. To him she is his Junebug and beautiful. Their connection is instant and the love she has dreamt about, is suddenly there in front of her. Jesse has only recently been diagnosed and is struggling with the news. He calls it the Last Chance Ranch but is determined to heal and live the rest of his life because he’s goals and dreams to fulfil. I enjoyed the way they joked and laughed together but she could see the crack in his bravado. He’s the only one without his family there so June is pleased to be there for him when he’s feeling down. I loved how she got the chance to have a best friend in Emma and with Chris the four became the Chemo Club. Their positive outlook was so impressive that I got carried away with them and had my fingers crossed the whole time. The boys antics and their dark humour provide some funny moments. Even though the subject matter is hard, Tillie writes their story with such understanding. The loss and grief is palpable and what they go through is heart wrenching but told with such empathy. It was so informative about their experiences with dealing with cancer, the different treatments, the affects they deal with and how their friends react. It was so sweet how June’s parents supported Jesse and their relationship. There are many ups and downs for everyone involved and I really felt for Chris. It's not all doom and gloom because June is an aspiring writer. When Jesse suggests she gives them their hopes and dreams to help them deal with everything, she writes their love story. Even though the subject matter is sad this book will stay with me for a long time. 5 stars doesn’t seem enough.

Ive read a thousand boy kisses and a thousand broken peices both books had made me sob. But this book. I cried for 3 hours straight. I loved it. Must read
