This book is a must-read for those looking to understand the psychological and emotional toll of domestic abuse. While it is an emotionally heavy read, it is also one of empowerment and resilience, demonstrating the difficult choices survivors must make in order to break the cycle. What are you willing to do to protect your child? Who are you willing to sacrifice a relationship with? These are questions one might ask for self preservation.

An alcoholic mom, a rich husband who always helps take care of their daughter, an evil stepmother, a best friend, and a co-worker the wife has a crush on... What could go wrong? A murder. This book is full of twists and turns that leave you guessing until the book's last sentence. This book does have a lot of talk about rape so trigger warning on that. This book is well written. It goes back and forth between the present and the past. I highly recommend this book for people who love thrillers!
