Broken Playboy by Laura Lee is the conclusion Bentley's story, the last of the 3 Kings of Windsor Academy.
Bentley's story had so much mystery surrounding the death of Carissa and the infamous frat party.
I knew this one was going to gut me. Bentleys torment, agony and pain surfaced every time he had a nightmare about his past.
His self medication resulting in addiction is so relatable to so many. His grief... so apparent. His guilt... so consuming. His hurt....so painful. His struggle....so real.
He's so broken that it's a wonder he was still so good inside. That deep down, he was still a good guy. That his soul was still salvageable. That his struggle could have an ending.
His journey to letting go of his past, of accepting help and leaning on the people he loved and loved him back, of finding a different way to cope and ending his addiction, of dealing with his grief and releasing the guilt that was ravaging his very soul...is oh so real.
I've dealt with some of the things he went through and felt everything he was feeling and thinking. It's so hard to get through so much and find yourself on the other side. Many don't get there. I was lucky enough to have the love and support of my husband and his family along with years of therapy.
This book, to me, is all about Bentley. Yes, there are other characters involved in this story but for me, it's all about Bent.
Broken Playboy by Laura Lee consumed me in every way. It's a must read in my opinion.
