How can you not be enticed by a book who's title includes a infamous Lady Gaga song?
This book is much more than a famous pop song though and readers will be drawn in on page one.
Grace falls for bad-boy rockstar Gav in a heartbeat. It's inevitable with her traumatic home life and longing that she sets sights on the guy who tried to kill himself over his ex-girlfriend. Tragic? No doubt; but what stands out about this book is the author, Heather Demetrios, focusing on Grace and giving us a real picture about what a victim of domestic violence goes through. You don't just sit back and let someone treat you horribly. There's an abundance of rollercoaster rides and emotions. The good and bad come in waves and they definitely do in this book. Also, Grace sticks up for herself as much as she can as a victim ( and a girl in love)... which sends a great message to girls that although the struggle seems endless... you can get out of a bad situation.
Loved this book! (less)
