Summary
From New York Times best seller Pepper Winters comes one of her best tales yet...
"What do you do when you meet your soul mate? No wait...that's too easy. What do you do when you meet your soul mate and have to spend a lifetime loving him in secret? 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 labor, 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.
Critic reviews
"The Boy and his Ribbon really does deserve all the 5 stars, all the accolades and all the praise it's already receiving. Ren and Della are characters that will stay with me for a long time." (Hopeless Romantics Book Blog)
"I think this is it. The best book I have ever read and I have read a lot of books. Pepper's writing in this book is beyond superb." (Wanton Book Lover Blog)
"This book. God, this book is one of the best books I have ever had the pleasure of reading. Without a doubt and with so much confidence I can say and will say this is the best book of 2018. (6 stars, S, Goodreads reviewer)

such a good story
I've not read/listened to this author before but came across this story on goodreads, so so glad I did. The story was captivating, great main characters and luved the narrators accents. Ends on a cliff hanger, already downloaded book 2.

Best book Ever
What can i say about this book, i loved every word of it. I was especially moved by how Will M Watt portrayed Ren. I don't think any other person would have captured the character like he did. Truly amazing. If you haven't read or listened to this book, please do yourself a favor and read it. You will not be disappointed. I'd give it 100 stars if i could

Not for the faint hearted but highly recommended
I rate this highly because of its unconventional tale which is well written from both Ren and Della's perspective. This isn't a romance as such and it certainly didnt exert sentimentality. It is raw and innocent, a coming of age story that will churn your emotions.. I'm talking rollercoaster, washing machine gut wrenching turbulence. It is rare a story will have you reevaluate your morals; I have no idea what I want for these characters or where I want them to end up. I admired Ren's work ethic and sacrifice to Della, the loss of his childhood and the trauma of his past, the passion he holds for the outdoors which he ingrained in Della.
This story is tragic as it is wholesome and joyous; tense as it is uninhibited, pure as it is tainted. This story is not black and white but a kaleidoscope of grey and I loved every bit of it and will devour the next instalment immediately.

pure perfection
this was my first audio book and what a book !! Totally different to what I've read from Pepper Winters before, boy did she do a fantastic job, bringing all the angst and heart ache and feels to me from the start . I loved Ren and Della and can't wait to read some more.
The dual narrating was great , especially the voice of Ren , he was brought alive ,as if talking to me , 5 worthy stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Pepper has throughly surprised me with this book. Never in my life as a reader i have come across a book like this. This story is so unusual yet so real its seems touchable, livable as if you are looking as it through binoculars or keeping a ghostly present beside Della & Ren and watching this tale unfold.. its mesmerising, enchanting, alluring & unstoppable. You just can't stop at this as you have to finish it with the next part..the experience of reading is undescribable. Just read it to have a life long experience of reading a treasure...

I read this book when it came out and loved the story so much I wanted to listen to it on audio. This audio just brings back all the emotions I felt whilst reading.
This duo bring Pepper's words to life and do this story justice; once again I get all the feels so much so it sends shivers down my spine!

A beautiful story
This story is unlike anything I’ve listened to before. It is so well written, so full of emotion and richness, I felt everything the characters felt from chapter 1. I love that you grew up with the characters and felt the angst so strongly as the dynamic of the relationship changed. My heart broke with them all the way to the end and I can’t wait to listen to the next book. I’ll be honest and say that the middle third of the book was a little drawn out at times but this didn’t deter me and ultimately I think it was important for understanding the developing relationship of Della and Ren. By the end I couldn’t give this any less than 5 stars. Well done, Pepper.
