Usually I'm a happy camper when I pick up a book by Ms. Kersey. This time I struggled a bit.
The writing is good. But I struggled with Lily, mostly because I wanted to smack her upside the head for not seeing the giant red flags of her relationship with Trevor.
I understand that's the point of this trope. Falling for a manipulating, gaslighting, charming, abusive man. But there were missteps as to when she should involve the authorities regarding his activities.
We're dealing with marital domestic abuse in this story, something I do agree needs to have a spotlight shone on it.
I finished the book, but nearly gave up more than once, simply because I couldn't deal with the heroine's choices.
What books do you recommend that cover domestic abuse?
When college student Lily Jamison receives an ominous note telling her to "Stay away from him", she convinces herself it's a mistake. After all, she's barely met the two men it could be referring to. But as she begins to fall for the man with the striking blue eyes, the disturbing messages increase.
