LOVED THIS BOOK

Torin and Casey, Wow! This story tugged on my emotions and messed with my head! These feelings and words were so raw and touching that I don't think I can read anything else right now.

K. Webster you are an author who writes moving, heartfelt, and sometimes twisted stories. But I love how I feel after reading your books because they are thought provoking and make readers feel something.

I'm not even sure where to begin with this review. My Torin is arguable one of the most emotional books I've ever experienced. Yes, experienced. I didn't read it- I felt it in every fiber of my being. I am puffy eyed, snot sniffling, and smiling a wobbly smile. I was tortured by my feelings and the magic of K Webster's words.

My Torin resulted in 45 PMs and 4 Facebook posts while reading it. That doesn't even begin to describe the zeal and enthusiasm I will approach pimping this book out. IT IS A MUST READ!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have to say that with the author's fondness to go outside the lines and scribble on the walls- I was wary. I kept getting hung up the tag line on the cover. But as inadequate as that one word "strange" describes all this book encompasses- its also oddly fitting. It hurts my heart to say that but you won't understand unless you read it.

Its an epic and beautifully poetic story. (No, no actual poetry in the words but the feels!) My Torin stole a piece of me I will never recover. I knew K Webster could create characters that are real. I knew that she had the ability to spin a story so well that you didn't know you weren't living it for real. But the only book of hers prior to My Torin that actually crippled me was Whispers and the Roars. Now I can safely say that my heart beats with an extra stutter. A tiny skipped beat that can never be fixed but will always be felt. A permanent mark on my soul.

My Torin (and Whispers and the Roars) are tattooed on my mind and a stutter in my heart. I may not have read K Webster's entire catalog but I have never been disappointed in her words. I don't love all of her characters (coughs Hannah) but every single one evokes some sort of emotional response from me. Torin now reigns supreme as...Real.

reviewed for Sweet Spot Sisterhood

This book was amazing! I loved every minute of it. I got really attached to the characters but especially Tyler. I thought this book was beautiful even through the messy parts. It was definitely emotional. Twice I found myself hiding under my covers crying for nearly ten minutes. I hated and loved it. I don't want to give too much away but believe me, it was incredible. It's only February but I already know this is going to be favorite of mine this year. There are few characters I dream about but these characters have appeared in my dreams. This book made an impression. 5 stars!!

I'm completely and utterly blown away. I had no idea what to expect going into My Torin, but I certainly wasn’t prepared for the page-turning, heartbreaking, life-affirming, hope-inspiring masterpiece that was waiting for me inside. I can’t remember the last time I was this invested in a story and its characters. It normally takes me about 8-10 hours to read a full-length novel. I finished My Torin in five. Just sat my ass down and didn’t get up until the book was closed in my lap. K Webster, this story is brave, bold, and beautiful, just like you.

Where do I even start

i'm having a really hard time knowing what to rate this because of all of the feelings.

that's not to say that i freaking loved this... i didn't. it was just so superbly strange and sad, honestly. i don't think it's a spoiler to say that this book deals with autism.

and i think that's where this was tricky for me. i don't have autism or experience with it so i can't really speak to whether this was an accurate representation. but it made for a hard to love romance. since communication is so integral to relationship development it was pretty hard for the emotions and interactions between the two main characters to be fully understood.

and i feel terrible saying that. because i really do like that webster chose to write about an autistic male lead. and i liked that she didn't try to "cure" him/use him as a plot device (as is often done in romances... guy is mute and can somehow finally speak once he finds his true love? cheap). but like i said, i wasn't sold on their romance.

other things i kind of had a problem with were the dubious consent (real freaking dubious) when the main character loses her virginity. pretty unsettling. i also really hated the way that everything was so "coincidental." if you've read enough romance you know what i'm talking about. but this had some seriously shitty plot holes that were sown up with coincidences. not my fave.

that being said, i didn't hate this book. i couldn't put it down and the beginning especially intrigued me. i also wasn't disappointed with the ending. that being said, i'm going to await reviews by people who have experience with autism to really know how i should feel about this one.

Man, I don’t know what to say except that My Torin blew me away. I’ve been hearing how amazing it was, but that still didn’t prepare for when I started it. My Torin is an utterly beautiful, heart wrenching, but heartwarming read. It was truly phenomenal and I know that when I evaluate the best books I’ve read in the 2018 year, My Torin will most definitely be on my list.

I won’t tell you anything revealing about Casey, but I will tell you that I fell in love with her the moment I met her. She’s had a lot to deal with, but she’s got fire, she’s kind and compassionate, and she’s full of light. Casey is beautiful and unique and she has a pure, good heart. I just loved her - she’s amazing.

And oh, my Torin, how I loved that man. He’s breathtakingly sweet and romantic. He’s full of depth and there’s more to him than meets the eye. It was impossible to not to fall in love with him for all that he is and all that he does. Torin completely stole my heart and I just couldn’t love him any more than I do.

My Torin broke my heart, it brought both happy and sad tears to my eyes. It touched my heart and made it ache and swell with so many emotions. My Torin is a heart pounding, stunning, outstanding tale that I could not tear myself away from. I wholeheartedly loved it and it is without a doubt one of my favorite K. Webster books.

My Torin is a standalone, it’s told from different points of view, and Torin and Casey do get their well-deserved happily-ever-after.

~ Sonja, 6 Stars

This emotionally gripping psychological romance is nothing short of powerful and all consuming. Extremely well written, and eye opening, this book breathes new life into it's timely and awareness raising subject matter. This was my first read by K Webster and I'm beyond impressed by her gift for storytelling. Five stars for this beautiful and thought provoking journey.
