OLDER FICTION
Brown, Jennifer

Bitter End

(3) YA Alex feels that her boyfriend Cole is the only one who loves and understands her. So she forgives his occasional aggressive actions: being rude to her best friends, squeezing her wrist too tightly. As these incidents become increasingly violent, Alex finally accepts that she's being abused. Brown deftly captures the complexities of enduring--and escaping--domestic violence in this sensitive novel.
