5.0

It's been a while since I've read a pure, unadulterated five-star book. I'm not one to read memoirs, but this one was beautifully written, unputdownable and full of such emotional detail that I really feel the loss of the book now I'm finished. Engrossing and heart-wrenching, it gives a vivid insight into abusive relationships, and why it might so hard to wrench yourself free, and yet there is a strain of hope throughout. I am so impressed with this book. I wish I could read it again for the first time.
