The book Twisted is shown in the perspective of a senior in high school named Tyler Miller. Tyler wasn’t the most popular kid in school and he received a lot of harassment from his peers, but all that changed once Tyler did what he called “the Foul Deed”. He was sentenced to hard, physical labor over the summer and as a result of this, he became quite muscular and attracted the most popular girl in the grade, Bethany Milbury. The two hit it off and their relationship seemed perfect at first, but after a terrible party experience, their relationship was on the rocks, along with Tyler’s reputation around school. The rest of the story follows Tyler’s journey to regain his reputation, or what he has left of it, and he must conquer some the tasks that life throws at him.
I enjoyed this book because I think the author did a really good job showing the high school experience. She doesn’t sugarcoat it like other authors do, and I think that most of my peers would enjoy reading something that they can relate to. This book also shows the problems Tyler has at home with his family and I think it was interesting to read about his family because they appear to be a normal family, when in reality they’re not.
There were times when I the book wasn’t as interesting as other parts in the story, but I still believe that others should read this book despite some of the lacking parts, and overall I enjoyed this book.
