Corrupted is the type of story that becomes stronger and more powerful the longer you ponder it.*** slight spoiler ***18 year old loner, Bradley has rent to pay and a loser friend to feed. Between a rock and a hard place and no family to turn to, he finds himself doing things he'd never, ever imagined.On the one hand, this story pulled at my heart-strings as Bradley recounts bullying at the hand of a high school classmate and how he suffers uncertainty and humiliation with his new-found employment. On the other hand, I wanted to smack him up the head for not kicking ne'er-do-well, Justin out on his ear. Several times!The author did a great job creating Bradley's vulnerable, sympathetic character. Justin (the very unlikeable friend) and supporting cast were thoroughly drawn and very well done.This is not a m/m romance, but rather the story of a man/boy who's struggling to make ends meet while desperately trying to hold on to his best friend who seems so very unattainable. Or, is he?Recommended
