Bent Backwards takes us through the same timeline as Bent, but this time from Ethan’s POV and it’s just as intense. While Oliver’s longing felt painfully unrequited in Bent, here we see Ethan drowning in just as much (if not more) obsession, denial, and angst. He may be better at lying to himself, but his feelings for Ollie were undeniable, and watching him finally fall and fight to make things right, was incredibly satisfying. Paired with Bent, this is an emotional rollercoaster of a love story. Just a heads-up for readers who dislike cheating, but if you love angst with a rewarding HEA, this one won’t disappoint!
