This describes me at this very moment. I cannot believe how engrossed I became in the book I just finished. To say engrossed is actually an understatement. I bought Bent by HB Heinzer for the Kindle a few weeks ago, but just got the chance to start reading it last night. If it wasn’t for my husband telling me to put the computer away at 1 this morning, I would have finished the book by breakfast. 😉
I don’t own a Kindle, but I’m really liking the Kindle app for my computer. Anyway, back to Bent. Wow. I’m shaking after reading it, just the emotional roller coaster that HB Heinzer took me on was amazing. It’s been a long time since two characters have made me root for them the way that Julia and Micah did in this book. I smiled, I laughed, I actually got angry at one point. Really, I got angry at the characters. 😉
Here’s the book description from the Amazon.com website.
If there’s one thing Julia Wilson has learned in life, it’s that you can’t push your own dreams to the background for anyone. Newly divorced, Julia returns to the hometown she once swore would never see her again. Her plan is simple; enjoy the cheap rent her friend is offering and stay just long enough to develop a plan to make her own dreams come true. It doesn’t take long before Julia realizes she’s made a big mistake. Micah Anderson came closer to breaking Julia than anyone else ever had. After promising her forever, he broke her heart the week before she left for college. Now, Julia’s back in town and he’s going to have to tell her the truth about why he left her. It’s not possible to hide a twelve year old child when you live in a town of 5,000 people. Is following her dreams worth it if it means giving up on a second chance with her first love? Is trying to make a relationship work worth it if his past becomes a threat to her safety?
This was the best book I’ve read in quite a while and I’m looking forward to reading the author’s next book, Blessed Tragedy. I just bought that and figure I’ll read that this week.
