I have always found books about abusive relationships, or any form of attention to them at all both a positive and negative attention. Abuse is always something people need to be aware of but it is sometimes upsetting to read about. I appreciate the way Jui-Wei Yang handles the situation. Hailey's friends are supportive in their lack of association with her (Chan telling her he wants nothing to do with her while she is with Sam, while Emma cares for her regardless). It's a very real situation to be in, what Hailey is dealing with, and Emma and Chan's reactions are also both very real.
