The first sentence of this book had me drawn in, but then I felt the pacing throughout the book let it down for me.
I enjoyed the exploration of love when violence is involved, and is it actually love or fear that one is feeling. The comparison between her current relationship, and the relationship her parents shared was interesting to see how violence impacts future generations.
I think it’s one I may re-read at a later date and appreciate more, but I’m intrigued to read more by this author
