Really powerful and insightful book, even for those who are not currently in abusive relationships. It really taught me a lot about abusive dynamics, not just in the context of romantic relationships, but in the context of society as a whole.
This is one of those books everyone should read before embarking on dating. Hopefully you never need to wonder if you are with an abuser.
