Read this in anticipation for the movie coming out this year starring Blake Lively. Wife and I hope the cast will elevate this story on screen because this book was not written well (reads more like a YA). However, I do understand the themes & concur that awareness & support should be spread for this matter. I thought it was nice that the author included resources in the appendix.

This book was full of sad but realistic domestic abuse incidents. I got a little bored with the chapters about the letters written when the main character was a girl.
