Wow, I’m really intrigued after your review. It’s a way I’ve never thought of this concept playing out before, waking up back in the abusive relationship. I’m might need to give this a read soon.

This was one of the things that intrigued me about this book. I love the unique spin the author puts on this kind of relationship. She leads readers to look at it from a whole new perspective. Hope you enjoy Gloria's story. Thanks so much for stopping by!

The scenes of abuse would be depressing. I feel so much for women and men who have to go through that. The book definitely sounds intriguing. I loved your review; it definitely made me want to read the book! Thanks for your recommendation

I agree. There are sections that portray strong events. I do find it inspiring to read about how abused people are able to find the strength to leave or overcome these kind of situations. The author also told this story from an interesting perspective, which added to the intrigue. I hope you will be inspired, too. Thanks for commenting!

Is the past a hallucination? Or is something else happening here that the reader isn't privy to until the times meet up? It's an utterly fascinating concept, if I do say so myself, but not one I'd be sure of until I saw the execution.
