Victoria has described and written her story fantastically! This book clearly shows how easy it is to become a victim without ever realising it. I really recommend!

It's terrible what Victoria had to go through, and I'm glad she survived, but as a book, this wasn't the best.
It was hard to connect to her, and it felt like she dismissed her husband's behaviour too easily over and over again.
She says something relating to this in the book, how she didn't fight for her former relationship where she got cheated on so she wanted to make this one work (I'm paraphrasing but that's the gist) and I can understand that, but at the same time, every bad situation her family was in was because of him and some part of her kept refusing to see that and it was so frustrating to read.
The really sad part is that, if there was no trial (and conviction), she'd probably still be in denial (best case scenario). We got to see her thought process during it and even then she wasn't convinced he could've done it, despite being provided proof of every other horrible thing he's done.
As for the audiobook, it wasn't bad. I think the narrator did a good job.

just not for me, I couldn't get through it as i found it very triggering and had to stop
A horrifying account of a brave woman’s worst nightmare. It read like fiction, making it more of a horror story and it brings awareness to Domestic Abuse.
