A very insightful perspective on learned helplessness and domestic violence victimization. Does not romanticize violence.

Enjoyed this book. The authors note at the end made me sad. But liked the characters. Was so conflicted reading this and still liking Ryle. 
But well written and good ending.

This book was complicated for me. It did a great job of getting you to love the characters and in the very smallest way, understand what someone might go through

when they face physical abuse

.

I was uncomfortable with the book but also couldn't put it down.

I can't believe I read another CoHo book after swearing off her years ago... I got curious, okay? And it was *gasp* pretty good? Better than her other books at any rate.
