Initially confused and found the short chapters and referring to third person a little confusing to follow. However, when I hot into this I found the poetic prose of the book the most captivating part. The chaotic jumping between stories and events, representing the disorganised nature of DV victims. A truly insightful piece on how unhealthy relationships develop, with important thinking around how this is represented within queer communities.
