6/6/2023 0 Comments Bitter End by Jennifer Brown![]() It’s impossible to read about a woman being kicked and called a “dirty slut” by the man who “loves” her and not be affected, I think. In the interest of being honest, I must confess that certain parts of Bitter End made my physically ill. Bitter End is a book that I think many teen girls need to read today Brown’s message is extremely important and, sadly, too often overlooked or laughed at.Īn abusive relationship is, naturally, a difficult thing to write and read about. Rape culture and domestic abuse are two things I’m wildly, wildly passionate about, and, keeping in mind the somewhat frightening acceptance (and promotion) of unhealthy relationships in today’s media, I don’t think Jennifer Brown could have written a book more in need of writing. ![]() So I think it’s significant that Bitter End impacted me as much as it did and caused the reactions it did. As a self-prescribed realistic fiction/“issues” book junkie, I’ve read a lot of novels that deal with tough and uncomfortable situations. ![]()
