Why is everybody talking about it right now? Is it really worth the hype?

Join us for this week's episode where we will be discussing the saddest book any of us have ever read, A Thousand Boy Kisses by Tillie Cole; the book that made us all ugly cry from Chapter 3 until the end of the book. We talk about some of our favorite moments, like Rune and Poppy's sweet relationship that starts at an early age, the scenes that made us cry the hardest and how this book was just as heartwarming as it is depressing.

Even though we each admit to being in a real bad reading slump during this episode, here are all of the books that we mention throughout the episode trying to get out of said slump:
