I was looking forward to reading this book and it didn't disappoint. The story follows Danielle's experiences of meeting the man who would become her husband and their turbulent relationship as it develops, through a disastrous abusive relationship and miscarriage. She paints a picture of a thoroughly unpleasant individual with nasty, belittling behaviours. He cuts off her family and turns her into a nervous wreck with no confidence. The situation is compounded by a misdiagnosis of bipolar disorder, which has Danielle on medication that clouds her thinking. It seems this is part of the reason why she stays in this awful relationship, and doesn't flee from the situation earlier.
