My Dark Vanessa by Kate Elizabeth Russell
5.0
The story is breathtaking. The way in which Russell writes Vanessa as not the “perfect” victim, but then leaves us no choice but to empathize with her was beautiful writing.
There’s something about how people around her enabled the abuse by not speaking out, not questioning, but also how these men were always in the wrong and waiting for Vanessa to give the go ahead. This book forces us to understand the cycle of abuse and the moments of control that a survivor can have and how ultimately this is their story to tell
