Grace wants out. Out of her house, where her stepfather wields fear like a weapon and her mother makes her scrub imaginary dirt off the floors. Out of her California town, too small to contain her big city dreams. Out of her life, and into the role of Parisian artist, New York director—anything but scared and alone.
Enter 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.
Deeply affecting and unflinchingly honest, this is a story about spiraling into darkness—and emerging into the light again.

Why I'm waiting on Bad Romance this Wednesday: Okay, I'm gonna be totally real here, the cover of this book is absolutely gorgeous and had a huge influence on why I became interested in it. But, besides that, it sounds like an incredibly intense book that seems to deal with a lot of tough and often taboo subjects. Book like this are important and I'm excited to see how it is.

ReplyDeleteI don't think I've read any of her other books but I can't be 100% sure. Her name definitely sounds familiar. I'm glad to hear her other books have been great! I hope this one is, too!
DeleteThanks for stopping by!
OMG Ashtyn! I cannot wait to read this book! The cover really is gorgeous. I've read Demetrios's Dark Caravan series, and I loved those books.
