My Torin by K Webster

5.0

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.
