"this book changed my life, and helped me begin to heal from years of torrid and harmful relationships. while the narration itself refers to the relationship as straight (and describes typically male abusers), i am not straight and still found this incredibly real, relevant and deeply needed."
"Broke down widespread misconceptions about abusers’ tactics and excuses. Also points out how the legal systems, culture, and media contribute to perpetuate the abuse and its excuses, even without any foul intentions. "
