i was reading this book because of my topic which is domestic violence. I think that t5his author is telling us that love is blind, I think another point she was trying to make was don't let anyone walk over you. If something is wrong in your life change it and if you cant change it get away from it. i think that these are the messages that the story is trying to send out.i think that the author as victim of domestic violence is trying to show these messages through her own experiences.
