Still – it completely destroyed me emotionally, in both bad ways, and good. This book, took my heart with it, on its complete journey! This book, dare I say that I loved it more than Grip?
I am so in love with Bristol and
Grip, and I love what you’ve given me with your words.
My guy and I continue to have discussions about race, and sometimes he has to remind himself who he’s talking to. You see, it’s too easy to get defensive about something so important to you, that you can miss what someone’s actually saying. Miss that you’re actually saying the same thing.
I may not understand what it’s like to be a bi – racial man in the south, but I understand fear, hate, anger, sadness, betrayal, prejudice, hurt, etc.
I understand him.
With society struggling with what it’s struggling with today, your book is not just a love story, It’s so relevant and sensitive, to the struggles our America is facing.
Maybe, I’m not just looking at this, as just another book among the thousands I’ve read. Maybe it just speaks to me in another level. Maybe this particular love story is just what my heart needed. Whichever way you want to look at it…
Kennedy, you killed it!

I knew reading this book was gonna reck me completely and writing this review was going to be the biggest challenge for me because how can I explain to all of you how amazing and fulfilling this story has become when I don’t even can find the right words to do so. I LOVE it so much MY HEART can’t take it. How can I do justice to Kennedy’s brilliant mind. No matter what I write it will be to simple, to plain compare to my UNDENIABLE LOVE for Still.
They are a few books that stay in your hearts and mind for as long as you live. This books will make you appreciate your life, make you thankful for every breath you take, for every morning you get to wakeup beside the love of your life, to be able to hold your daughter in your arms, for the family that’s there every step of your simple but magnificent life. Makes you enjoy the good and let the bad make you stronger. This books will open your eyes and help you see beyond prejudice, color of skin, social status, and gender. STILL is for sure one of those book for ME. I will never forget Grip and Bristol story. If I was captivated before with their beginning in Grip; seen the completion of their journey on Still it surpassed my biggest dreams for this couple. I knew how good Kennedy’s writing is but to write a sequel that surpasses Grip to the STRATOSPHERIC MAGNITUDE of GREATNESS that it did is goes beyond my wildest dreams with this story.
We all know how Grip and Bristol struggled in Grip to accept and fight for their love. In Still this love will keep been tested in so many levels because what you told me Kennedy is true “LOVE TESTED IS STRONGER” and their love is the stronger of them all. We all dream of someday finding a love like this. A love WITHOUT WALL. Where nothing is band, judge, sensor, discouraged. Where you get your heart and soul naked to another and is receive as the most valuable thing in the world. Were your happiness and safety means everything. Were your heart is so intertwined that ones doesn’t beat without the other. That’s the kind of love Grip and Bristol share.
This book is POETRY, is ART,is LIFE.Is has everything a great story needs to make it THE BEST OF 2017. I will bring you to your knees and squeeze your heart but also will let you rise and grant you Joy like never before. I don’t like to write reviews that give you details of the story I just want you all to know how my heart feels about it. So I hope this is enough for you to grab this book because It’s a once in a lifetime story.
L”My love, My life, My heart
Never left your hands
Always evermore
Even after
STILL”

What is this I’m feeling? That would be all the feels. All. The. Feels. Still is the dynamic conclusion to Grip and Bristol’s love story, and to say it consumed me would be an inadequate tribute to Kennedy Ryan’s writing. I’m still in recovery mode.
Just when I thought I could not love Grip and Bristol more, this book takes their relationship to a whole new level. Opposites who attracted eight years ago, their unshakable bond is tested and proven time and time again. They are by no means perfect, but as a couple they come pretty darn close.
“Our love is the stuff of legends, rolled in Teflon, disaster-proof.”
This book has a little bit of something for every fan of the series. The infectious tenderness, humor, strife, and sultriness are a heady combination. Although it may seem incongruous for a romance novel to deal with controversial social issues, the integration of the hot button topic of racism is timely and fascinating. It continues to inflame Grip’s passion as an activist and impacts his relationship with Bristol in a way that makes their love far from trite.
I’m not at all surprised by Kennedy Ryan’s impeccable writing. I highlighted the hell out of this book! Grip is a poet and musician, so it’s only fitting that page after page is filled with lyrical poetry. In particular, the poem “Still” spoke to my heart and continues to resonate with me.
“Through years, through pain,
My heart will answer again and again, still.
Ask me in a million seconds, ask me in a billion years,
Do you love me?
And I will stay still.”
My eyes will never stray.
My heart will never wander,
gladly leashed to you all my days.
I am fixed on you.”
There is not a single moment wasted in this riveting, haunting story. Still and the entire Grip series challenged my opinions, touched my soul, and completely enraptured me.
Always, evermore, even after. Still.
