Scars Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 47 ratings

Returning to my hometown of Meadows Ridge, I’m just as broken as the day I left.

I’m no longer the teenager who had everything at his fingertips. All it took was one moment to turn the world as we knew it into a painful memory.

I deserve the nightmares plaguing me.

Then there’s her, Riley Parker—the woman I left behind, my bleeding heart still in her hands. The hurt and anger in her doe eyes is justified. But I’m determined to prove to her that deep down, I’m still the same Cooper Graham she once loved.

Will I be able to get off this path of destruction, or am I doomed to live with the scars branded on my soul forever?


Trigger Warning: Scars is an angsty and emotional second chance romance. There is discussion of self harm in the past in this book.

THIS BOOK 🥺❤️
“We all have scars, Coop. Some are physically etched in our skin” The fact that this book is not all over Bookstagram is beyond me! It is amazing! 10/10. 5⭐️’s. ALL the big numbers and sparkly things for this one. The emotions you will feel while reading this book are unreal and raw, you will literally feel what they feel. The journey Cooper and Riley and pretty much the whole small town of Meadows Ridge takes to get through their grief, is portrayed in this heart wrenching and breathtaking novel hitting me directly in the feels. You will find yourself crying, laughing, gasping, maybe even throwing the book down for a minute, but let me tell you, SO freaking worth it. The second chance love story between Cooper and Riley filled my heart, while Austin and Riley’s BFF status made me smile so much. “What? Don’t you think you can spin circles around me anymore, Riles?” Before you read, make sure to read the trigger warnings. But trust me when i say, YOU MUST READ SCARS. ASAP. I read SCARS on KU along with some bookstagram friends in a Buddy chat. I did just receive this absolutely beautiful signed paperback in the mail that I won in the best giveaway I’ve ever won! Thank you so much Stefanie!

    Please note: This book contains subjects that may be triggering for some readers. Please be kind to yourself and read the TW before embarking on Cooper and Riley's journey.

    Stefanie Jenkins never fails to hit me with all the feels.
    Her writing is emotional terrorism at its finest.

    Once again, I find myself sitting at my computer, eyes blurry, heart hurting—yet, overflowing with happiness—due to the emotional maelstrom I have just endured.

    Riley and Cooper had a LOT of trauma to deal with.
    Not only as individuals but also between them.
    Understandably, there was A LOT of hurt and damage that needed to be addressed before they can co-exist in their small town.

    After the emotionally charged beginning of the book, the steps that Cooper took to make progress in his recovery, and the discoveries he made regarding Riley, I thought we had turned a corner. We were granted heartwarming memories, sweet words, and moments of levity and laughter.

    Boy, was I lulled into a false sense of security.

    Because, just as the tension and drama exploded between two individuals, Mrs Jenkins pulled the proverbial rug out from underneath me—again.

    Honestly, I'm still reeling from this beautifully tragic story.

    Loss, love, hope, forgiveness and second chances collided in a hauntingly beautiful glimpse of how grief and guilt can flip your world upside down.

    But that final chapter? Pure magic.

    Cooper, Riley and Tanner are graduating high school and embarking on their futures. Cooper and Tanner have been best friends since they were little. Cooper has found the love of his life in Riley. The three of them have their futures all figured out until one moment changes everything.

    Stefanie Jenkins writes a beautiful story about forgiveness and second chances. It's a story about going home, facing your biggest regret, believing in yourself and fighting for what you want.

    Cooper needs to learn to love himself and who he has become Scars and all.

    I warn you, this book wastes very little time and sets right to doing its best to inflict some new scars on your own heart and trust me it succeeds. Cooper and Riley's story has a raw, painful genuineness to it that makes it easy to connect with and for some readers this could make this a challenging book to read. At its heart this book is an extremely angsty emotional romance that will definitely have you up in your feels, but it is also a very powerful read that deals with much deeper subjects like loss, grief, guilt, and self-harm. If you are looking for light and fluffy, you need to keep looking, but if you want meaty and moving, this book is just what you are looking for. This is my unbiased, unsolicited review.

    This is a baseball themed, small-town, second chance romance takes you on a journey of love, loss, redemption, forgiveness & hope. This had my heart within the first few paragraphs. I cried, I laughed, I loved this book! Absolutely must read book! Perfect!

    I read a lot of books a week, about 3-4, and I usually give them 4-5 star ratings because they are really good books that I'm glad I read. Every so often a book comes along though that is just above and beyond amazing... this book falls into that category. I got this as part of the Reveal Book Box and I am so glad I did as it is not one I would have read otherwise.
    This book brought out all the feels.. the tears, the love.. I'm tearing up just writing this review thinking about the book. What Cooper went through.. What Riley went through... I so badly want Austin to have his happily ever after now. What an amazing best friend (and little brother). The journey Stefanie took us on fighting the demons they faced and overcoming them... what a book!!!

    This is Cooper and Riley’s story and I loved it! I just cannot get enough of these second chance romances! Be prepared for some tears and some difficult to read scenes. But it all comes together in a great love story. This story is about loss and forgiveness. Cooper carries so much guilt and it weighs him down. It caused him to leave everyone he knew behind and never look back. This story was beautifully written but prepared because the heavy emotional stuff doesn’t let up from beginning to end. Second chance is my favorite trope and this one by Stefanie Jenkins is a can’t miss!

    I knew from the prologue that I was going to be in for a ride of emotions. This is a second chance romance - they were each other's first loves. There was a horrific accident that caused Cooper to just leave town and leave Riley behind. Six years later, he is back. This is a journey of forgiveness and healing after heartbreak, trauma and grief. I loved these characters and I loved Riley & Austin's friendship too. Stefanie is a great writer and cannot wait to read more of her work. Check your triggers!

    I can’t believe that it has taken so long to read this book that has been sitting on my Kindles for ages! Why I waited so long I don’t know but OMG! I love, love, loved Cooper and Riley’s story. Soo emotional, it has all the feelings and tragedy and I shed some tears. This angsty second chance romance is both emotional and beautiful as it plays out after 6 years apart. Cooper had left them without a goodbye to Riley. There is great character development in both the main leads and as they overcome their grief, trauma, heal their hearts and forgiveness. There are some trigger warnings about death and injury due to a car accident and some self harm, but overall the story is amazing. I have read all of Stefanie’s books and cannot recommend them highly enough. Read Scars today and you will be so pleased you did. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️+

    Ooh, I actually teared up a few times reading this. Quite emotional but never quite heartbreaking. It was a good story.
