It is strange to say you love a book that is full of abuse and psychological manipulation, but I must have because I could barely put it down. I was stuck in the bathtub for 3 hours because I couldn't find a place to stop reading. It took me that long to realize that there were no chapters to remind you to take a break! I am usually not very fond of books that take you back and forth from the present to the past but the author did it so cleverly that it was almost seamless. The only sentence that took me completely out of the story was at the beginning, on page 14, where she wrote "...the party they'd had had lasted all night". I had to read it over at least 5 times and still can't get it out of my head because I don't think I've ever read a sentence with 3 'had's in a row!! Crazy.
