I like the aesthetic but when I found Oscar Wilde credited as “British Writer” and the misquoted Percy Bysshe Shelley, I was kind of sad. I’m guessing those aren’t the only mistakes in there, but they were the two that startled me the most.

Enjoyable! There were pictures along with some quotes, poems, and sections of novels.

Personally I'd have liked if they were all poems 😂 But I'm a poetry person ~

Beautiful, refreshing quotes on the joyous senstation of lip locking. From the cover inset: Whose life has not been changed by a kiss? That inevitable first kiss---a kiss of farewell: each a moment that we long to preserve, a single spark or promise that, even in memory, heats the blood and fires the imagination. Oh how I miss and long for kisses sweet as the honey you so desire, Pooh.

This is a cute little mini book, all about the kiss. It features alot of memorable pictures and great quotes. I bought this at a gift shop on a trip and just thought this was an adoreable piece to have. Nothing spectacular, just simple fun!
