Long Shot
by Kennedy Ryan
3.5 stars. I like that the author tackled the issue of intimate partner violence, but it was excessive to the point of being trauma porn. Iris spends half the book with her abusive partner, and there is just extremely detailed violence against her. While she does take time with her family and go to counseling, there is more detail about the violence than about her healing. I wish she had made some female friends along the way, too. Iris seems very dependent on August at the end and I wanted more for her.
I appreciated the author's depiction of the patriarchy in this book, and how people blame the victim in intimate partner violence.
MANY CWs, this is not even a complete list: intimate partner violence, on the page rape, murder, gun violence.
