About this listen
Control. Jealousy. Isolation. Blame. Anger. Violence.
The inspiring true story of a young woman who suffered a terrifyingly abusive relationship culminating in a horrific acid attack from the man who claimed to love her.
Adele was just 23 years old when she was scarred for life by an acid attack arranged by her ex-boyfriend, Anthony. The attack left her partially bald and she lost her right ear. This was Anthony’s attempt to stop her from ever being attractive to another man – a final act of ‘control’ over her and the horrific end to a terrifying case of domestic abuse.
The acid attack came after she had ended her relationship of several years with Anthony Riley, the man who said he couldn’t live without her. Anthony Riley was convicted in October 2015 and was sentenced to a minimum of 13 years in prison.
This is Adele’s brave story, the story of one woman’s incredible fight to recover from the most appalling injuries and to decide that she would not be controlled, she would be strong.

My top 5 Books out of 300 or more .
A very interesting but tragic and sad story of an abusive relationship . At times very emotional and even as a bloke I cried when this young lady realised she had a face after her attack . She is very courageous and I wish her everything good for her future .
riley (anthony). you was a big fish in a small pond and definately a bully and very inadequate . If you lived where I lived and if you treated any relative of mine in that way then you would have been ironed or shived .
You are a weak and pathetic man , controlled by your own feelings of inadequacy and I hold no hope for you .
I had some compassion for the guy who through the acid but I understand the young ladies inability to forgive .
riley with a small r , burn in hell and may you always be tormented for your actions .

Gripping
It's a very thought provoking and gripping book. Every chapter I thought to myself what is she thinking! Get out. Which made sense in the concluding chapters why it was written that way. 5 stars

Amazing
Could not stop listening. Hard to say I enjoy a book that has these consequences. Listening was difficult at times, but amazing strength and courage by the author.
