About this ebook

A National Book Award Finalist offers an intense portrait of an abusive relationship.

Johanna is steadfast, patient, reliable; the go-to girl, the one everyone can count on. But always being there for others can’t give Johanna everything she needs—it can’t give her Reeve Hartt.

Reeve is fierce, beautiful, wounded, elusive; a flame that draws Johanna’s fluttering moth. Johanna is determined to get her, against all advice, and to help her, against all reason. But love isn’t always reasonable, right?

In the precarious place where attraction and need collide, a teenager experiences the dark side of a first love, and struggles to find her way into a new light.

Ratings and reviews

Beautifully written love story with a twist.Emotions permeated throughout my body. Every time I turned the page another gasp of air would come from me. My soul tickled with grief.. Yes it was that excellent!! This is truly a must read for anyone, someone going through this type of relationship. Ms. Tiptress PassionReads

Wow...such a different aspect of a whole other side that can come with loving someone hard. Not all love is healthy and it's easy to get carried away on feelings and new experiences. This really gives you something to think about and allows you to receive a better understanding of these situations among family, friends, or even just someone you hear about being in abusive relationships.

I love this book, and read it so many times. Thou it bring me sad how love can cause so much problems with friends and family. Whether to choose or not. This book reminds me of Marisol`s love & lies. It's good book. But this is my favorite book of all.
