To say I sobbed at the end is an understatement.  I ugly cried.  It wasn't the ending so much that did it, it was just all these emotions that I was feeling while reading the book that finally came out at the end.  It was like a dam broke.  Emily Bleeker is magnificent.  Thank you for a beautiful story.

I'm not really into medical romances all that much but this one is an exception it had me crying more than once. Absolutely loved it.

My emotions are all over the place right now after reading and finishing The Girl and Her Ren. I definitely loved it more than the first book, The Boy and His Ribbon. If you have read that book and loved it, the second book will absolutely transcend it all. It was so much more of all the feels. But oh it was sad. So very sad. I still can't quite believe everything I read and the turn the story took. On the one hand I can't exactly say I'm happy with it but on the other I feel like it was worth it to read this beautiful story.

The story continued where the previous one ended where Ren had left Della because of their feelings for one another. Luckily it didn't take too long for Ren to get his shit together again and to realize he loves Della and return to her. After that they actually spend time together being happy. But eventually we start getting warning that this book might not have the greatest ending and if it does or not I won't say because I'm trying my best not to spoil this book but it's kind of hard.

I still can't say this duology is my personal favorite of all time by Pepper Winters but this was a very special story. And I do think it's one of her best ones. It wasn't just a coming of age romance for me, it was so much more. Somehow the two main characters, Della and Ren found their way into my hurt, causing me to be so affected by the whole story and especially the ending. Honestly I had expected this book to go in a whole different direction so I was definitely surprised by it all, which was actually a really good thing.

Even now as I'm writing this review I kind of want to cry because I just finished reading the book and it's all still pretty fresh in my mind. But I can't say enough how touching, heartbreaking and utterly beautiful this story was. I hope anyone who's planning on reading this book has tissues because you'll definitely need them.

This one got me in the feels. I cried with the main character, felt her embarrassments and her pain and her joy.

Granted, there were some moments I just didn't understand why/how she'd be all friendly to Mr. Man after he'd been an ass, but I very much liked their relationship anyway.  Although I can't for the life of me figure out how/why she let that one BIG thing go without another word. It's a spoiler, and you'll know what I'm talking about if you read it.

In spite of some of the inconsistencies in character behavior, I really enjoyed this story.

This has to come under one of my favorites
It has everything I look for in a really great story
It was funny, yet in some parts of the story I cryed
That's not to say it wasn't sexy  hawt
A story of young men coming  out they are gay. The stress,of school  and family for these young people touched my heart.
I would recommend this to anyone who likes this genre.

Almost upsetting in all of its depth of character.  Took a few chapters to get the characters organized in my mind, but I loved it

It was a roller coaster of emotions. I laughed. I cried. It tore my heart out more than once and put it all back together again.
It was clever and funny. I loved Greta, her acceptance of her own feelings, her acceptance of Elec, she truly was a loyal beautiful person. I felt every bit of her pain. I wanted her to get mad at Elec so many times but she just loved him always putting him first. It was beautiful. Elec could be a real jerk but I always saw through him. Every-time he was mean he was trying to cover up his true feelings. When his story was finally revealed it all made sense. Complete love.... Satisfying and Epic....

I was crying so much but loved the book! What an emotional topic and it was captured it so well. Loved how it went between both Corabelle's and Gavin's POV.  I cannot wait for book 2. I read hopefully in January.

I was looking for a standalone to kill some time while waiting for a friend and jumped into this story.  I had been looking forward to reading it and time was on my side.  Let me just say WOW.  This book was so heavy, it had its comedic moments but overall it was a deep read.  At least for me.  The book revolves around siblings, kind of since Scout is not blood related to them, coming together during the last days of their father's life.  Each sibling is dealing with their own hang-ups and issues while they have to wait for the inevitable outcome.  Each siblings story is just so heartbreaking, but underneath it all is a beautiful love that unfolds.  I really worry that I'll say to much and spoil the story for someone else.  Let me just conclude with have a tissue ready, you will tear up, and although you get your HEA to me is was a little bittersweet.  I'm not knocking it in any way, but I didn't really leave smiling a big goofy grin, more of a heartfelt knowledge.

It was a heart breaking tale but in the end it made my heart feel whole. The book was well written and it left me feeling complete.

It was a great book but it made me cry a lot. I think it was actually one of my favorite books by Kristen Hannah. Another book that I loved was Winter Garden.

This was an excellent book, but very sad and did make me cry. It has been a long time since a book made me cry. But I loved the characters and the description of the country and the time period it took place in ( the 1920's). A good read, but be prepared to be very moved emotionally!

First couple chapters, I bawled my eyes out. Hysterics. I'm not sure I've ever cried so hard in a book. I had to take a couple week break from the book. So I took some time off then gradually continued with the book. I enjoyed it but I found myself thinking, "just get on with it, Emi" I'm not sure if I felt this way becauseI took so long to finish it, or if I felt the book was sort of dragging. Overall, I enjoyed it. I'll be reading book 3 soon, which I think is in Jack's perspective.

I was immediately drawn in and selfishly put off doing some chores today so I could finish the book in just one day.  It was alot of things to me. It was tragic. It was emotional. It was sad. It was sweet. It was intense. It was heartwrenching.  It was romantic. It was hot.  A rollar coaster of emotions went threw me today, but in the end i thought it was a beautiful and touching story worth all of the 5 stars I gave it.
