Fans of Anderson’s previous books won’t be disappointed with this one. I had only read Speak before this and I really loved it – I didn’t think anything Anderson wrote after that could possibly be as good. I was wrong.
In Twisted, main character and high school senior Tyler has just finished doing community service for the Foul Deed from last spring. He’s trying to just make it through his senior year of high school, despite all the troubles at home, when the girl of his dreams finally notices him. Things are going well until the big party – then Tyler’s life really starts to unravel as he is investigated by the police for a possible sex crime.
Tyler is a great character, someone everyone can relate to. He’s a good guy (taking care of his little sister) but he has flaws, which makes him likeable and relatable. His family life is a mess, but he still manages to have a halfway normal life at school. This book is for older teens, with references to drinking and drug use, some sexual comments, and graphic thoughts about suicide, but it’s all integral to the story. This one gets a 9 from me – so pick it up today if you haven’t read it yet.
