But I Love Him

From Goodreads:
Tonight was so much worse than anything before it.
Tonight he didn't stop after the first slap.
At the beginning of senior year Ann was a smiling, straight-A student and track star with friends and a future. Then she met a haunted young man named Connor. Only she can heal his emotional scars; only he could make her feel so loved and needed. Ann can't recall the pivotal moment it all changed, when she surrendered everything to be with him, but by graduation, her life has become a dangerous high wire act. Just one mistake could trigger Connor's rage, a senseless storm of cruel words and violence damaging everything and everyone in its path.
This evocative slideshow of flashbacks reveals a heartbreaking story of love gone terribly wrong.
My thoughts:
Since April is Child Abuse Prevention month, I think it's important to think of all the abusive situations and relationships we can find ourselves in. I'm really looking forward to Amanda Grace's (aka Mandy Hubbard's) novel because I can only imagine how many people out there will need to read it. Bringing light to these terrors can literally save lives.
Great Pick! I've seen this book around a lot lately, definitely adding it to my TBR stash.
