Review: Poor Writing, about abuse, disempowerment and narrow escapes

A college girl is smitten with an abusive boyfriend and stays with him way too long. By the time she escapes from him she has dropped out of college,(This allows him to disempower and entrap her by taking knowledge away from her) she is pregnant, (this adds a financial and emotional burden to her life=more entrapment) and she is even more vulnerable for her next abusers.I suspect the sequels to this book will be full of more abusers, more abuse and more escapes. Unfortunately too many women actually live their lives like this. Victimization by an abuser, escaping and then getting entrapped by their next abuser, and they go on to repeat this cycle over and over.This book is not a good example for our young women. It is also poorly written, and contains hundreds of passive verbs, which serves to reinforce the idea of being a passive woman who cannot act to save herself or her family until she is more injured, vulnerable and afraid.
