Entwined by A.J. Rosen
4.0
When I first came across Entwined I was really drawn to the soulmate premise of this novel. Before I get into more detailed thoughts, I want to start off by saying that OVERALL, I enjoyed this story.
The first thing I noticed was definitely the writing, in particular, the conversations. They fell short and were, for a lack of a better word, cringey. I want to make it clear that I think it's super cool and pretty amazing that Wattpad now publishes its stories, and that this is one of them! I also want to make it clear that I don't think Wattpad stories are any less legitimate than other published stories, but in this case, I found the conversations unnatural.
This story is a fun greek mythology, love triangle, romance novel. However, it comes off a bit predictable and I think it would be much more suited for more of a middle-grade audience than a young adult audience.
That all said, I finished reading Entwined in ONE sitting. As a first novel, I can see there is room for improvement, but also it's a debut novel!
