Bad Romance by Heather Demetrios is a heart-wrenching look at abusive relationships and helps to explain how a smart young woman can become involved in one.
The book is about Grace, whose homelife with her abusive, totalitarian step-father and her afraid, OCD suffering Mother drives her into the arms of Gavin: charming, talented, adored. Controlling. Dangerous. When Grace and Gavin fall in love, Grace is sure it’s too good to be true. She has no idea their relationship will become a prison she’s unable to escape.
Grace would do anything to escape the suffocating (and abusive) grip of her parents – but is Gavin really the way to do it?
