I crawled into Ryan Jensen's bed that first night by accident.

I barely knew him. I thought it was his sister's bed--her room. It took seconds to realize my error, and I should've left...

I didn't.
I didn't jump out.
I didn't get embarrassed.
I relaxed.
And that night, in that moment, it was the only thing I craved.

I asked to stay. He let me, and I slept.

The truth? I never wanted to leave his bed. If I could've stayed forever, I would have. He became my sanctuary.

Because--four hours earlier--my twin sister killed herself.

"Not my first Tijan book, but it will be my last. I have read several of her books, and I keep waiting for author development - I got this one based on the storyline and the reviews. I did not see a deep, emotional story here, and like all Tijan books, had to wade through the usual overly dramatic (and over the top) high school politics - the 'mean' girl actually flew the main character's friends from another town in for a party, complete with old home movies of her dead sister to torture her?? Tijan's books all seem the same to me, but with different names. The parents are all irresponsible, uninvolved, and act like immature teenagers themselves. The hero is always larger than life, practically a god, and always falls for the heroine, who is usually new in town. The heroine is always troubled and broken and looks like a model, but doesn't know that she's pretty - and they're never afraid to take on all the mean girls. So much of Tijan's books are not believable, that it ruins the story for me. I'm all about high school angst, if done well, but I have to be able to believe it. Parents who are constantly out of town, or don't know when their kids are sleeping elsewhere - not believable. I could go on and on. I really wanted to like this story, really wanted to see some maturity in her writing, but did not. Not even the story line was that gripping - it could have been great. It could have been intense and heartbreaking, but it wasn't. Not for me, anyway. There were so many 'huh?' moments for me ... the little brother who gets put in a private school without the heroine's knowledge? The kid's just gone and no one tells her. Okay. And the scene where the mom questions the heroine about having sex for the first time, and ... cries?? And then keeps telling the heroine to not have sex when she's left alone (parents go out of town, or stay in town to work, or something). Nothing was real in this story for me."

Ryan Bed Tijan Books Reviews

• Tijan has a way of making her readers feel as if they are the main character, as if they are the one's feeling her emotions. Ryan's Bed shows us that Tijan writes with her heart. She puts these incredible books out and she leaves us with a piece of her every time. Ryan's Bed broke me. I've recently lost a loved one and I've been going through every single thing in this book. It was so refreshing to read this for me though. It put a small piece of my shattered heart back.
  
  Mackenzie doesn't realize her strength. She doesn't see what others see in her. After devastating news she ends up staying at a friend of her parents place. She accidentally goes to the wrong bed and finds herself in bed with Ryan. Ryan is every thing Mac needs. He's her anchor, he's her shelter, he's there for her through everything. Because he's been there. He's lost someone and knows a little about how the grief comes through. Most may say Ryan is the hero of the story for these reasons, I say Mackenzie was. She swam through her grief and came out battered but healed. Yes, she had help. But she persevered and didn't give up.
  
  I love all of Tijan's books. I think I'll love this one a bit more than the others. Just because it hits home. This book will show you the edge of hopelessness, heartbreak, anger, rage, grief. It will also show you hope, healing, happiness, and how to let go

• I cannot start to describe the feelings this book brought up! Tijan did an amazing job building and describing the emotions that go with such a serious topic as suicide. Mackenzie’s depression and grief broke my heart. Ryan’s support was just perfect. He wasn’t overwhelming, but just silently understanding her spoke volumes.
  The fact that it was Mac’s twin made it much worse I think. Mac’s feelings towards losing her other half just plainly shattered my heart. I found myself tearing up more times that I can count.
  But finding the support she needed was enlightening too.
  
  I was rooting for her and Ryan and I love the fact that the book doesn’t really revolve around them as a couple but rather it is basically about Mackenzie and her struggle with depression. Ryan and her were a given, the angst was not them but her and herself. I felt ssooooo much in this book! Definitely one of Tijan’s best. I love her books, but this one was so much more!
  Definitely get this book! It enlightens in many matters that matter in today’s youth. And the last line!! Oh wow..... such an impact..
  go read it!
• This is definitely tijan with a twist. I liked it a lot. Will re-read for sure after I let it marinate for a bit. Triggers include suicide (not a spoiler - the aftermath of it is in the opening sequence and it is discussed in detail so not for the squeamish) .
  Well written story about a girl dealing with her twin sister's suicide and what that means for her and the effect it is having on her family. It is about figuring out how to heal from it, how move forward and develop coping mechanisms and how to not lose her identity every time she looks in the mirror.
  This book was deep and thoughtful and hard to read (I have twin girls) so I had to make sure to separate myself from the book and appreciate the glimpse into Mackenzie's life and the journey we got to take with her and then leave it behind after the last page. It was intense and thought provoking, but not depressing.
  I liked that it is first person and not dual POV because the story really is about Mackenzie and not about her finding love, but about learning to love herself and find the light in such a hard, dark time in her life.
