"Actually, I just thought of another one which really affected me. I don’t know if I’m going to pronounce it correctly. It’s Les Amants du Pont-Neuf — Lovers on the Pont-Neuf [aka Lovers on the Bridge]. It has Juliette Binoche in it and Denis Lavant. He’s very good. I was a university student when this came out. It’s kind of a love story of a privileged girl who’s going blind and she kind of runs away from her privileged life to live on the streets. And she falls in love eventually or creates this friendship with this homeless man. It’s an extraordinary film. It just blew my mind. Again, the filmmaking was incredibly brave and just committed and front-foot and so unique. Again, a film that looks at relationships and has a life in the characters — very alive. I don’t know. It was just an experience to watch that film. I just love it."

I love Kenji. So much. He was always one of my favorite characters, because he's so fun and loving and the friendship he has with Juliette (I just can't call her Ella) is so genuine and beautiful. This look into his mind was both interesting and heart breaking. People see a happy person, someone full of sunshine and positivity, and they never think to question them. The entire series before Find Me, he's a breath of comedic relief, the one I was always excited to have mentioned because he's just a great character - but hearing his thoughts, knowing he bears his burdens so well, I will never look at him the same. I still love him, possibly more than before. This novella is important for so many reasons in relation to the story and how it'll progress, but it was also necessary for those of us who love Kenji so much to get to know him a lot better!

A love story so profound, it's what all teenage girls wish for in a relationship. Even some adult couples don't reach Rune and Poppy's level of unyielding love and devotion. A Thousand Boy Kisses made me cry no less than 3 times in just the first 153 pages and almost nonstop for the final 3 or 4 chapters. Poppy is so full of life, it's hard to imagine how she can be so optimistic, but it's a view everyone should strive to have. Rune is understandably moody and sullen, but it was amazing to watch how love changed his heart. From the moment they met to their final reunion, I watched in awe at their journey. I read, enraptured, from beautiful beginning to beautiful end. And my heart almost burst.

**SPOILER ALERT**
There's only one thing I wish was different. I wish Tillie had clarified WHY Rune had finally "come home". 27 is awful young, I just wish I knew what sent him there.
