@RElizabethM Hi! I was actually planning on leaving a review today! I read the entire book last night and loved it. I'm not usually a fan of stories that address topics as dark as physical and emotional abuse, but you did it in a way that really captured the reader's attention. While the topic was serious, you addressed it elegantly. I think the fact that the main character was the one observing it happening to someone else is what made this story so much easier to read and to grasp the concepts. I loved it. I look forward to reading more of your work and at looking through your own favourites list.
