Why read it?

1 author picked Getting Out as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I chose this title because it’s the first story that made me fall in love with this genre. There is a deep sense of authenticity stemming from the reality of finding love after abuse.

This story left an impact on my heart and greatly influenced my writing as an author.
