Review: Twisted - N.L Greene - September 2013

Having friends can be one of the hardest things in the world, as they are people we want and care about , but then they can also be the worst thing for us and end up toxic. Twisted is that story. The story of two best friends from childhood who grow up and one will dominant the other so much, that the submissive one will think of herself stupid and ugly. Intimidation, Bullying , Manipulation - what happens if this happens to you but you ignore it and use the excuse - she's my friend. Twisted is that story. Would it take you to the point of almost being raped or possibly raped before you realise she isn't really your friend or will you shrug it off as your fault and ignore the obvious because she is your friend. Twisted is that story. Would you ignore the fact that two of your boyfriends were caught kissing your best friend and you would blame the guy not your best friend ? Twisted is that story.
Twisted is the story of all Toxic friendships and follows the tale of two best friends Mel and Nat through school from 4th grade to High school and is told from Nat's POV.
Reading Twisted does make you "the reader" think about all the friendships you have had in the past and reflect to see if any of them were in fact toxic and unhealthy for you.


 
 

 

 Can you share your idea of the perfect soundtrack to ‘Twisted’ with us?


This was really hard for me.  The songs I listened to while writing the book didn’t necessarily match the mood of the book.  So here a some that I think best describes how the book flows and the mood of the characters.

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
