Overview:
This 2-book collection brings together Tillie Cole's deeply moving YA romances, pairing A Thousand Boy Kisses with its companion title A Thousand Broken Pieces. In A Thousand Boy Kisses, Rune Kristiansen returns to Blossom Grove, Georgia, rekindling a bond formed in childhood with Poppy Litchfield and confronting truths that reshape their lives. In A Thousand Broken Pieces, Savannah Litchfield faces the enduring ache of losing her sister and embarks on a global journey as she clutches Poppy's unread journal for guidance. Together, these novels explore how love can endure across time, space, and heartbreak, and how resilience can emerge from grief. The collection is a paperback edition designed for thoughtful, immersive reading, ideal for fans of emotional contemporary romance and character-focused storytelling. The two books complement each other while standing strong as powerful, standalone journeys about memory, loss, and healing.

What This Collection Covers:
The collection traverses themes of loss, memory, and healing through two distinct but complementary narratives. A Thousand Boy Kisses follows a lifelong connection that is tested by time and distance, offering a tender portrait of first love, promises kept, and the ache of saying goodbye too soon. A Thousand Broken Pieces shifts to a fresh perspective, chronicling the journey of grief and recovery as a teen travels the world with other grieving youths, and as Cael Woods struggles with the pain of a different loss. Across both titles, Tillie Cole builds a vivid sense of place—from small-town Georgia to international locales—while centering on resilience, forgiveness, and the enduring power of human connection. This set is well-suited to readers who crave heartfelt romance, coming-of-age insight, and stories that explore how tragedy can steer us toward growth and empathy.

Book-by-Book Guide:
A Thousand Broken Pieces: A Thousand Broken Pieces follows Savannah Litchfield, who, after the devastating loss of her sister three years ago, has been living half a life. At seventeen—the age Poppy died—the pain deepens, and a suggestion from her therapist to explore the world with other grieving teens sets her on a life-changing path. She carries Poppy's unread journal, a lifeline and a map to the sister she still yearns for. Cael Woods, grieving the loss of his older brother, is angry and restless. When the group trip abroad becomes a chance to heal, Savannah and Cael cross paths in a way that challenges both of them to confront their grief, hope, and the possibility of recovery. Through candid moments, transformative landscapes, and a growing trust, the story unfolds into a testament to fragile healing and fragile love.

A Thousand Boy Kisses: A Thousand Boy Kisses centers on Rune Kristiansen, who returns to Blossom Grove, Georgia, after years away in Norway. He rekindles a bond formed in childhood with Poppy Litchfield—a bond created through a thousand shared moments, including a promise to wait for his return. The kiss that began their story is remembered as a compass guiding their choices, and the memories they share are tested by distance, time, and truth. When Rune discovers why Poppy disappeared, the truth threatens to sever their connection or deepen it in ways neither anticipated. The novel traces a tender, enduring love that survives separation and time, insisting that some connections last beyond a lifetime.
