Bad Romance by Heather Demetrios

5.0

“I gave you my heart on a silver fucking platter and you ate it, piece by bloody piece.”

WARNING: This book can be triggering for those who have experienced abuse, mentally and physically. It is about an unhealthy relationship. It does contain topics of abuse, mental illness, suicide, and rape.

I absolutely loved this book. This was my first book from Heather Demetrios and I loved her writing. It made me want to pick up her other books. As an adolescent social worker, I devoured this book. The message in this book is so incredibility important. I fully plan to give this book to my future clients to read. Sometimes we can not be taught lessons through talk but through reading someone else story.

Heather takes you on an emotional roller coaster throughout this book. I felt myself wanting to yell at the main character. I just wanted to jump in and help her. This is a book that resonates and stays with you for a very long time. It shows you how abuse can disguise itself in soft kisses and sweet nothings. It is a necessary read. It will help teach those who know nothing about abuse and help those who are in the middle of it all.
