This is the first story I found that I really loved which started me reading fanfiction. I've read it so many times and keep finding new things to love. Hoping for a new update soon!

I miss this story, please come back soon.

edward is such an asshole in this. hes literally so selfish and i hate him and he pushes bella way to far.

jesus christ edward is so selfish in this book

This story is amazing. I felt like I could really connect to the characters and there was so much depth. I’m glad you took it slow and made the healing seem realistic rather than over with in a few chapters like some stories. It must of taken a lot of dedication to commit to the story for so long and you have done it so much justice doing it the way you have. I am really looking forward to the last few chapters.

Wow. Just wow. I could not put this story down for 3 days, only slept 2hrs last night and the final chapter came way too soon. This was so so good and I hope there will be more.

Looking forward to the final chapters. Have enjoyed re-reading it this week.

This story was suggested to me on Facebook. I've taken my time to read this over the last few months, as it's quite an emotional journey. This is so wondefully written with Bella's healing journey being raw and messy and beautiful. I am amazed you have put so much into this story over more than a decade! What a gift you so graciously share with us. I do hope you find it within yourself amongst the chaos that is this world to continue this story to the end. Your writing is brilliant and I'm honored to be on this journey of healing with Torn.

It's been a long time since I read this story. I enjoyed it so much I returned to re-read it on a weekend binge. Just as good the second time around. Thank you again for your time in writing it and for sharing.

Wow, I now have a new favorite fanfiction ever! I am blown away at the quality and details put into this story. You've done a fantastic job. I've read the entire thing in the last few days, literally couldn't put it down! And now I'm here hoping more than anything that you haven't abandoned it because I need to know how it ends. I've found so much comfort in Bella's story and how she has been able to make a new life for herself with the Cullen's. I could go on forever but sadly need to keep this review short today. Fantastic job!

Not sure if you are still reading reviews after so many, but I'm only on chapter 12 and love this! Should technically be very triggering for me as a lot in the story resonates with me, the milder abuse, being forcibly mute and on those awful high calorie little drinks after I had an accident and lost 50% body weight following an induced coma (took around 8 months for speech to be understandable, serious consequences for 10 days on a ventilator!) but I love how well and realistically this is written I'm hooked. Don't normally write reviews as I have very poor hand function so it's difficult to type, but wanted to say that I am really interested in where this is going!

Merry Chrsitmas! i hope you are good!

Really really amazing story. I have binged read this story over three days. And its crazy addictive even my family had noticed. Fantastic story and i cant wait to see whats next. I feel that this story has really helped me heal alot. To give me certain perspective that ive never thought of before. To understand humanity is to understand that humans can never be understood. Thank you for the read so far. Loving the ride and hope to see you soon:) stay safe

it's so hard to follow the tumultuous and irrational nature of her trauma. she oscillates between wanting to trust them but then immediately goes back to putting up her guard, to trying to minimalize herself as much as possible and be meek and obedient... but i don't necessarily understand her anger at this last chapter then. it's clear she was physically, emotionally, and sexually abused, but for her to test esme's kindness? wouldn't she want her kindness? what weaknesses has she necessarily revealed if she hadn't really exposed it in the first place? i hope that her healing will begin steadily but judging by the number of chapters, it's going to be rather slow. in it till the end though!

Finally caught up. Can't wait for the conclusion. I hope you can finish this one. Have really enjoyed it.
