about tillie
Tillie Cole hails from a small town in the
North-East of England. She grew up on a farm with her English mother, Scottish
father and older sister and a multitude of rescue animals. As soon as she
could, Tillie left her rural roots for the bright lights of the big city.
After graduating from Newcastle University with a
BA Hons in Religious Studies, Tillie followed her Professional Rugby player
husband around the world for a decade, becoming a teacher in between and
thoroughly enjoyed teaching High School students Social Studies before putting
pen to paper, and finishing her first novel.
Tillie has now settled in Austin, Texas, where she
is finally able to sit down and write, throwing herself into fantasy worlds and
the fabulous minds of her characters.
Tillie is both an independent and traditionally
published author, and writes many genres including: Contemporary Romance, Dark
Romance, Young Adult and New Adult novels.
When she is not writing, Tillie enjoys nothing more
than curling up on her couch watching movies, drinking far too much coffee,
while convincing herself that she really doesn’t need that extra square of
chocolate.

Lia's Review:
I'll say this first, YA is so not my thing. But when an author you love decides to foray into a new genre, you follow them. I've read Tillie's bada*s bikers, her Alpha fighter, and her drool worthy jocks. I was totally unprepared for her Norwegian bad boy.
While this book is centered around teenagers in high school, it's also an almost poetic love story about a boy and a girl wise beyond her years. I did find some of the dialogue to be a bit mature for the ages of these characters, but it didn't detract from the message Tillie was trying to convey.
You will swoon, you'll be angry, and you'll be shedding massive ugly tears. Chest heaving sobs. It's as beautiful as it is tragic. A boy and a girl and the story of their one thousand kisses. Sigh.
