Editoral Review
Get Bent by C.M. Stunich is a gripping novel in the young adult romance genre that was first published on July 27, 2013. C.M. Stunich is a prolific author of romance novels whose works have earned her a loyal fan base.
Get Bent is a compelling work with a unique style that sets it apart in the genre. Set in a fictional town called Twin Forest, Get Bent tells the story of Tatum Thompson, a high school student with a troubled past.
Tatum is sent to live with her wealthy grandmother after her mother’s sudden death. Despite her attempts to stay away from trouble, Tatum’s life becomes complicated when she meets a group of misfits who call themselves the Brats.
The Brats are led by a charismatic figure named Casper, whose enigmatic personality draws Tatum in. The novel develops into a captivating exploration of the themes of identity, family, and love.
Tatum’s journey to find her place in the world is both heartbreaking and inspiring. The setting of the novel, the small town of Twin Forest, is vividly portrayed, making it easy for readers to immerse themselves in the story.
Stunich’s writing style is impressive, with a lyrical quality that captures the emotions and experiences of the characters in a profoundly intimate way. The pacing of the novel is excellent, with the story unfolding at a steady pace that keeps the readers attention.
The character development is also superb, with each character having a unique personality that is explored in depth. However, despite the strengths, Get Bent also has its limitations.
The novel lacks a clear sense of direction at times and can be confusing in places. Additionally, some of the character arcs are underdeveloped, leaving certain aspects of the story feeling incomplete.
Overall, Get Bent is an outstanding work of young adult fiction that any fan of the genre should read. It is a daring and immersive exploration of the teenage experience and is sure to leave a lasting impression on readers.
I give it a score of 4.5 out of 5, as it is an exceptional novel, but the limitations mentioned earlier hold it back from achieving perfection.
