About this listen
Three untold, true stories. Three different stages of survival. Three women share their experiences of intimate partner violence, vowing to no longer remain silent. But the countdown is on for them to speak up and say, no more.
In an unspoken story of survival, Gabbi, a therapist in her late thirties, wants her family to know what really happened to her all those years ago, but she's running out of time to finish writing her story before it's too late.
Seeking safety throughout a lifelong escape, Alex, a school counsellor in her late twenties, struggles to navigate dealing with her clients' traumas while healing from her own when her abusive ex finds her and starts sending letters from jail. Now she must flee again before he's released and hunts her down.
Falling for a nightmare disguised as a dream guy, Katee, a high school student, craves love, but her desperation grooms her for the perfect predator. Now she must escape her abusive boyfriend before she becomes yet another statistic in the femicide epidemic. The abuse they suffer echoes the countless shared experiences of domestic violence survivors around the world, but their fight for freedom is uniquely their own.
He shall remain unnamed, for he could be anybody's tormentor.

The way BB wrote it made me feel so connected to each of them, and when I realised the plot twist (don't want to give away any spoliers) it honestly gave me chills. I was in awe. BB is a phenomenal writer, and an extraordinary human being.
I’m so sorry you had to experience such horrific trauma BB. No one should ever have to go through what you did. But I need you to know, that young girl, the teenager navigating so much darkness, she was unbelievably brave. And the woman you are now, telling your truth with such strength and compassion, is going to help so many women who are still suffering in silence.
Sharing your story the way you did is no small thing, it’s world-shifting.
It was one of the most powerful and deeply moving audiobooks I’ve ever heard.

This book is definitely not for the faint of heart and if you've experienced any of these issues, it would be an incredibly difficult read/listen (it was for someone like me who has not for instance). Following the characters of Gabbi, Alex, and Katee and their stories was truly moving and upsetting at times. The fact that these are fictionalised true stories makes the book even more harrowing.
Talking about topics like this is still seen as quite taboo to a lot of people, but pretending like this doesn't happen is makes it harder for the problem to be recognised. This book does a great job at highlighting how the issues raised could have an effect on anyone, even those who seem to be doing okay.
Rating a book like this is difficult. It is incredibly well-written, but due to its distressing nature, it's tricky to say it was a 'favourite' read, hence the four stars.
Rating: 8/10
A thoroughly upseting, but important read
