Into the Darkest Corner by Elizabeth Haynes

This book. Wow. I mean, seriously. It was an intense ride from start to finish getting more and more f'd up by the chapter. It's about a woman named Catherine Bailey who at a young age is having fun meeting people partying sleeping around and stuff when she meets this guy Lee. Lee is hot and charming and takes charge and sweeps Cathy off her feet. Long story short, and the book opens up with the transcript of the court date, there is a charge of beating and Catherine isn't the one donning the boxing gloves. The story picks up three years later with Catherine having picked up the pieces (and a major case of OCD) and dealing with her life post trauma. She meets another man and the book goes along a parallel path alternating between three years before and the present time. i don't know what makes the story so compelling. It's practically a lifetime movie but the writing is fabulous and it flows. The story begs some questions about why she would stay why she would put up with abuse etc....but the story is so enveloping and you just have to keep reading to find out what the hell could happen next. And the end.... no spoilers on my end ever but omg SERIOUSLY?????? so good.
