Sinopsis

&ldquo,He&rsquo,s alive and the worst thing about that is that it makes me free. I don&rsquo,t have to keep sitting shiva with Schrodinger&rsquo,s Dummy in the bed we used to share. He&rsquo,s alive and nothing is burning down.áThere is only myself to reckon with. I chew on the edge of my right hand thumbnail and stare at the places where the wall spackle looks like a laughing toothless woman made of salt.&rdquo,Victimless Crime is a gut wrenching grenade of a story that hits the nerve of every person who&rsquo,s stayed too long in a abusive partnership. Written in the wake of the #metoo movement, the book brings the reader into the heart of a woman de-humanized and struggling to make life right. The story plays out through three days of this woman waiting for her partner to come out of his bedroom: where she&rsquo,s actually sure he&rsquo,s dead of an overdose or suicide, but will not open the door to check on him. Our unreliable narrator bounces between memory and moment to tell a tale of profound revelation, deep trauma, and how to navigate and survive a world full of addiction, sexual abuse, rape, self-harm, mental illness and toxic relationships.
