*ARC from NetGalley for Honest Review*
I give this book 5 TERRIFIC Stars!

I would like to say one thing though before my review...... MUST HAVE BOOK 2!!

I literally (yes literally) Did NOT, put this book down. I read it in one day, and I’m Craving for the Next Book.
One Special thing about Pepper Winters is the way she writes, but when you read her book you don’t SEE words, you HEAR them. I’m not talking about a dang audiobook, I’m talking about how her writing seems so real that it’s as if she’s talking to you and it’s for your ears only.
This was a well written piece, one of the best she’s written (for me anyways). You felt the emotions, you felt as if you were with the characters but invisible to them or you WERE the characters. I Love This Book.
I don’t wanna spoiler, but I’ll give you this: As This Being Book being Part 1, it’s not and HEA as of yet.
It’s a Definite Cliffy, and shockingly I’m ok with that for right now haha

I’m so glad I was able to get this book, when I saw that it was Approved in NetGalley... I definitely freaked out I was so happy. This book captured me once I read the Synopsis, and then the first Page..

I this book seemed to act more as a... ‘Prequel’ more than a Book 1, I know that probably doesn’t make sense...but when you read, I hope you able to see what I was talking about. You Are Able to See growth in both REN and DELLA, but no romance occurs between them as of yet in this one and again shockingly I didn’t mind. I felt like I was being prepared for what is going to happen in the next book, like some type of Kaboom (gosh I hope not) is going to happen, you know romance is going to happen between these two but how long will it take, will it be hard to achieve? This book Flip Flops between Present (Her POV), the Past (His POV) and it’s pretty dang cool. Will someone from the past come back to haunt them (hopefully, not a certain equestrian rider)? Honestly, there are so many questions I want to ask, but I think I’ll give too much away. LOL

Book Rating? 5 Stars
Cover Rating? 10/10
Heat Rating? 2 out of 5, but there’s a reason for it :)
Would I Buy this? Yes
Would I Share it? Recommend - Definitely Yes, Let Someone Borrow it? No, buy your own LOL
Would I Read More From This Author? Duh, My Tablet is Filled with Her Books!

The Boy and His Ribbon such an AMAZING read, but even the word amazing isn't enough to describe how fantastic this story was. I was captivated with this story from the very beginning and honestly stayed that way until the very last page. I was no where near ready for the emotional journey that this book would take me on. This story is truly unlike any story I have every read before. It's truly hard to write a review for a book when you don't have the exact words to describe how remarkable a story is. I've read previous books from this author and I thought that there was no way that she could top those books but man was I wrong. One hundred percent wrong! As I read this story, the scenes played out in my mind as if I was a part of the journey these characters went on and everything they went through. I absolutely loved and adored Ren, and there is no way to not love Della just as much. I was so happy when Ren and Della finally got a break with the Wilson family but nothing great has ever lasted for them. There were definitely laugh out loud moments within this story; especially the part with Liam and Della and the "worm". This is one story that will make you laugh, make your heart race, and have you desperately wishing for the one thing that is forbidden. I absolutely loved this story! If I had to recommend one book from this author to start with, this book would be it. I CANNOT wait to read the final book in this series. This one has definitely taken the number one spot for the MUST BE READ book of 2018 and I'm more than excited to see what happens next.

This masterpiece will destroy your entire being.

As I have said time and time again, Pepper Winter never disappoints. And she continues to prove me right.
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.
I can feel this book in my mind, body and soul.
I am heartbroken. I am confused. I am anxious. And I am in love with every inch of A boy and his Ribbon.

I am at loss for words and I don’t even know what else to say..so i’ll start with Ren.

Ren.

Breathtaking. Out of all of my favorite heroes, he has placed himself in the very top.
He is truly a boy/man who holds the weight of the world on his back.
He has been through so much. Things that should be allowed and despite all of that he still selfless. Has a heart of gold.
The way he took care of Della, sacrificed and went through a lot for and because of her, I respected that so much especially because he was a child himself. He became her example, her father, brother, mother, her best friend. He became her provider and teacher.
Throughout the entire book he proved what he said from the very beginning: she is his everything.
Even with all the responsibly he had from the beginning as a 10 year old boy all the way to a 28 year old man, he still remained the same.
He is intelligent, kind, natural born leader, sufficient.
He is one of the most captivating and unforgettable heroes I have ever had the pleasure of meeting.
Nothing I can and will ever say will fully allow for you to understand or know who Ren truly is.
He is a complicated, lovable work of art.



Della Ribbon.

Della came in from the beginning as a toddler and immediately stole my heart.
With her rosy chubby cheeks, her fat little hands, her taken to Ren even as a baby, her adorable giggles and quiet nature as if she comprehend the situation.
She stole my heart and I will never get it back.
That toddler turned into a child. A child that willing to learn any and everything. A child that watching Ren’s every move, was opinionated, open, and fiercely protective.
And then that child turned into a teen and then a young women. One that was so selfless, became less open and opinionated, more guarded, and hiding all her true feelings for her Ren..knowing he would not be able to handle it. And most of all knowing she will never have a chance. Not ever.
She was a girl and then a women that knew she destined to be heartbroken.
That almost every moment of her life Ren would shatter everything in her.

It's books like a Boy and his Ribbon that makes me excited and inspired, that changes my perspective on life, and the reason that I read books.
Pepper Winter is one of the best writers out right now. She is a master at storytelling and her effortless and poetic at her wording!
She makes you feel everything so deeply.

And once again, she never fails to disappoints.

Thank you Pepper for this...unforgettable work of art that has changed my life and perspective.

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review!
