This book is emotional. It will take you on a roller coaster ride, and you will be angry, empathetic, sad, scared, confused, and so many other things. This is the story involving domestic abuse. I have a few friends, one a very close childhood friend, who have been through this. Sometimes you know, sometimes you don't. So very often, things are not what they seem, even to people in an inner circle of friends. Abuse comes in many forms from physical to psychological, all of which cause a great amount of pain and trauma.  You do not need to be an abuse victim to be able to relate to this book, however, I will say that most everyone knows someone who is a victim of abuse, whether they realize it or not. Reading a book such as this, even though it's fictional, will hopefully allow you to have increased compassion and empathy, should you discover abuse in the relationship of someone you know. Because it is fiction, it allows you a touch of disconnect, so you aren't so overwhelmed knowing this story actually happened to someone. It should give you perspective.I received a complementary PDF of this book to facilitate my review, regardless, all thoughts and opinions expressed are my own and have not been influenced.
