See What You Made Me Do: Power, Control and Domestic Violence by Jess Hill

dark emotional informative reflective sad tense slow-paced

4.0

One of the best I've read but I wish books like this would use fewer and less graphic descriptions of abuse. Why Does He Do That? gives the most accurate description of living day to day with an abuser that other books forget, including See What You Made Me Do. However, this book looks at solutions more holistically and longterm than anything else I've seen. She chose to focus on exceptions of policing, but left out the 40% figure known of officers despite so much of the book citing the US.

Uni Textbook level of information about domestic violence! Highly recommend. The author used a lot of true stories to helps readers understand what does it like for people who live with domestic  violence
