This book.

What do I say about this book?

It was real. It was visceral. It was touching. It will probably rip you apart with no regards to your feelings. I feel like this was the most real Pepper Winter's book I'd read. Is that weird?


We once again meet out main characters Della and Ren. They've been torn apart and put back together. They both realize pretty early on, that life without each other is just not going to work for either of them. Ren in this book, finally put aside his qualms and embraced his sexual feelings for Della. It was hard because he had in all honesty been the only parent she'd had for a long time. Della had mosre maturity, but she was also vulnerable. Alot of the relationship she was the aggressor, and all little Della wanted was for Ren to want her as much as she wanted him.


I'm a horn dog most of the time. If my main characters aren't having sex by the mid book mark, someone's gonna be a real mad. For the Boy and His Ribbon everything was secondary to the story itself and I couldn't even bring myself to be mad when the main characters didn't bone (plus Della was WAYYY too young). In the Girl and Her Ren when they finally get together, the sex is once again secondary to the relationship. This story isn't as much what Della and Ren do once they get together as much as it is about how LIFE happens to them. It happens when you least expect it. It happens when you haven't planned for shit. It happens and leaves you fucking scarred. But you persist, and you go through it.


If I hadn't known that Pepper Winters was a dark romance author, I would've thought that writing these kinds of her books were her norm. She has successfully created a world totally different from her previous books.


I won't say anything about the ending. That's for you to read and find out. And for you to judge.


5 stars.
