I listened to the audiobook which is read by the author herself. You can hear the emotion and passion on the topic in her voice.
It was an incredibly graphic and horrific book to listen to but I could not stop listening. Jess manages to make a topic that is horrendous into a book you can’t put down. Her research skills are next level and the way she tells people’s stories with respect and dignity is commendable.
I spent almost the entire time shaking my head and cringing in shame that we live in a world this horrific and that I didn’t have a clue about the extent of domestic abuse even slightly. It was eye opening and a very interesting listen. I have learnt a lot.

Huge struggle, totally harrowing, but one of those reads that I would recommend to everyone who wants to really know about domestic abuse, spousal and child murder, and how there are more options available to this huge problem in Australia outside of white ribbons and awareness raising campaigns.
