Book Review: Bent: A Love’s Complicated Novel by Hollis Wynn
Review:
Bent was a well written debut by Hollis Wynn. Carrigan is looking to start over and step into the next chapter of her life. On her travels she meets, Whit and there is an instant attraction. They part ways but stay in touch. Carrigan comes into her own as she finds her footing. I liked the premise but I had a really hard time connecting to Carrigan. I liked her but I just couldn’t connect the way I wanted. The whole “relationship” with Whit just didn’t sit right with me and as the book continues my question was answered. I also felt like the relationship was rushed and didn’t feel their connection. So when the characters were all distraught it didn’t do anything for me. I liked the secondary characters and for a debut author this is a solid debut. The writing was good and the story flowed. It had a beautiful message. I just didn’t fully connect to characters the way I wanted.
