Bitter End
Bitter End | Jennifer Brown
6 posts | 9 read | 4 to read
When Alex falls for the charming new boy at school, Cole -- a handsome, funny, sports star who adores her -- she can't believe she's finally found her soul mate . . . someone who truly loves and understands her. At first, Alex is blissfully happy. Sure, Cole seems a little jealous of her relationship with her close friend Zack, but what guy would want his girlfriend spending all her time with another boy? As the months pass, though, Alex can no longer ignore Cole's small put-downs, pinches, or increasingly violent threats. As Alex struggles to come to terms with the sweet boyfriend she fell in love with and the boyfriend whose "love" she no longer recognizes, she is forced to choose -- between her "true love" and herself.

I think the book did a good job showing the complications in an abusive relationship. Where it‘s not all black and white. Do I think the writing at times could have been better. Yes. But still good.

I cringed a lot reading this book because a lot of it reminded me of my sister and when she was in an abusive relationship. She said these words to me and no matter what I said it did she stayed with him for 10 years. There were a lot of times I felt sick reading this book but I was hooked and wanted to see a happy ending for Alex. Good news is my sister isn't with that guy and is married to a good guy now.

Trav Good to hear! 8y

I knew what was going to happen when I started this book but that didn't stop me from feeling helpless for Alex and a little annoyance. Abusive relationships are complicated for those trapped in one and or those witnessing someone they love being in one. This book did an excellent job showing that. I was perpetually in a state of anxiety and hopelessness for the character. The best books bring out all kind of emotions like this one did for me.
