Knee Deep by Jolene B. PerryMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Told through the victim's POV you see how a relationship grows and progresses into an abusive one. Although Ronnie could be infuriating as you see her make up excuses for Shawn's behavior, what I found most disturbing were the parents. For them both to be so oblivious was heartbreaking. As was the guilt Ronnie feels for the abuse and the affects it has on everyone around her.
So glad you liked this one too! Ronnie was definitely infuriating and if I didn't already know people in abusive relationships, I would think she was crazy.
ReplyDeleteHaving been in one myself when I was her age, made me all the more mad at her and her parents, but I knew where she was coming from and how easy it is to hide how bad things really are.
