How many times did Claude use that shitty fake apology about doing all the work and being so stressed to excuse his repeated abuse of Martina?! Not even close to the end of Martina’s story and I couldn’t stand him. As the story went on I became more and more aware of Martina acknowledging how many adult choices she made as a child. She held on through so much BS in her neglectful and abusive childhood and teenage years but came out with an unshakeable optimism and bravery. She started to periodically recall the good memories she held onto with firm happiness in her present life which I loved to know, such as what her co-worker telling her how special Grant believed her to be. A little hard not reading with page numbers but I wonder if that was intentional. I often listened along to most of the songs presented at the start of each chapter and I loved that idea!

I obviously loved it, I wrote it! Give my first self published novel a try! It’s available for purchase on Amazon! Help a writer achieve her goals and get a great read to boot!

Thanks so much!
