I’ll tell you what you do.
You lie.”
REN
Ren was eight when he learned that love doesn’t exist—that the one person who was supposed to adore him only cared how much he was worth.
His mother sold him and for two years, he lived in terror.
But then…he ran.
He thought he’d run on his own. Turned out, he took something of theirs by accident and it became the one thing he never wanted and the only thing he ever needed.
DELLA
I was young when I fell in love with him, when he switched from my world to my everything.
My parents bought him for cheap labour, just like they had with many other kids, and he had the scars to prove it.
At the start, he hated me, and I could understand why.
For years he was my worst enemy, fiercest protector, and dearest friend.
But by the end…he loved me.
The only problem was, he loved me in an entirely different way to the way I loved him.
And slowly, my secret drove us apart.

Review:
This book is amazing! I think this might turn into my favorite book of the year. It was oh so good. Ren became my favorite book boy friend written by pepper winters.
What I also liked, no loved about this book is that it wasn't something I've read before. It felt like something unique. A very different take on a coming of age story. And with a hint of something taboo.
I loved that it was mostly from Ren's pov. I don't read many books that are mainly from a males pov. Pepper wrote it so wel.
I seriously need book two ASAP. I can't wait. I need more of Ren
note: this book isn't as dark as pepper other books. Its also not nearly as graphic but there is a certain taboo factor and certain things are hinted at.
What is this book about:
This book is about Ren and Della. Ren has had a hard live. He was sold by his mother to two people who used children for labor and physically abused the children they bought, emptionally, physically and the girls sexually. Its not all described on graphic detail but the sexual abuse is hinted at.
Anyway Ren managed to escape but what he didn't realize is that he took something from the people that bought them that wasn't his to take, their infant daughter della.
Ren has to decide what to do and figure out how the hell he's not only going to survive and provide for himself but Della as well?
What did I love about this book:
I just love Ren. He is such an amazing character. My heart went out to him every time we saw him struggling. He is loyal, hard working, selfless, and fiercely protective. He is willing to give anything for the person he loves.
I liked della as well but not as much as Ren. Della was more fierce and irresponsible than ren.She showed some typical teenage behavior and we see her struggling with the consequences of her actions.
Like I said above I really need the second book. This one ended with a cliffhanger and i'm desperate to find out what happens next.
