I believe that there is something to a name. Very different read. Thought provoking

I don't want the descriptions of the spousal abuse to stay with me throughout the day.

4.5 this was a book I could not put down. It will definitely go in my re-read pile because I will be thinking about it for a long time.

This book destroyed me. Well written nuanced view on domestic violence and its impacts. Intending to re-read each of the 3 story lines from start to finish.

Too much abuse. I with there was a verbal warning with the audiobook. I get that there’s one at the very bottom of the written description BUT I have read other audiobooks with audio warnings and less terrible spousal abuse. Just nothing in it for me to finish. Sad story.
