A review by marreadsbooks22
The Awakening, by Susanne Valenti, Caroline Peckham
Did not finish book. Stopped at 35%.
How is this marketed as YA/NA?
The amount of abuse in this crap!!!! W???? T???? F???
Sometimes I think some authors just want to normalize (or make think) Young
people abuse is "normal" in relationships and that they just have to "get used
to it" well.. go fuck yourself because it's not.
This was not Bully romance or "the villain/bad guy" gets the girl, this is
literally let's romanticized abuse and l'm not okay with that.
