You won't see this book on one of Oprah's Book Club selections, though considering this topic is often on her program, it should be. This story does any guy in Nic's position justice and kudos to Flinn in telling this from the male's POV as gracefully as she does for a change. How Nic handles his problems-or more accurately, how he was forced to handle his business-is a refreshing, touching, sometimes witty look inside the many hearts and souls of abused and abusing men. Thankfully, the author of this book doesn't turn the ending into a typical Brady Bunch one, nor does it hold an "Afterschool Special"-esque romp through a serious issue.
Nic Andreas is a 16 year old in love with his first girlfriend-yet he can't show love to her not knowing he didn't learn it from his home life to begin with.
Domestic abuse knows no boundaries, and the affluent have their share of said concerns as does anyone else. I initially picked up this book to see how its title compared with my soon-to-be-published MG read BREATHE, then understood it had nothing to do with that at all.
