I finished the gripping Let me just say this yesterday. B. Swangin Webster succeeds in telling the story of Cheryl without pathos, despite the very realistic vocabulary and tone she employs.
Cheryl is married to Kevin, a narcissistic man with violence issues. The reader witnesses the degradation of their relationship, powerless to stop the escalating violence between the husband and his wife, Cheryl, while victim, is also her own executioner as she is unable to shake the psychological power Kevin exercises over her. She refuses to leave him, refuses to call the police or talk with anyone about what is happening. One day she meets Matthew, who wants to be more than her friend. Will this be enough for her to break the vicious cycle that traps her?
Domestic violence remains a concerning issue. According to the NCADV statistics, one in every four women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime. Let me just say this offers some keys to understand the victims' mentality.
Though sometimes hard to read, I loved this book for its realistic angle.
