Loved itIt's a very terrifying type of novel. It's definitely not a feel-good book. You're going to hate it but that's the point, and as someone who has been in an abusive relationship I actually love this book.

But then Maggie dies, and Corinne quickly learns that the only thing worse than losing Maggie is being left heartbroken over a relationship no one knows existed. And to make things even more complicated, the only person she can turn to is Elissa—Maggie's ex, and the single person who understands how Corinne is feeling.
