About Bitter End
When Alex falls for
the charming new boy at school, Cole, a handsome, funny, sports star who
adores her, she can't believe she's finally found her soul mate-someone
who truly understands her and loves her for who she really is.
At
first, Alex is blissfully happy. Sure, Cole seems a little jealous of
her relationship with her best friends, Zack and Bethany, but what guy
would want his girlfriend spending all of her time with another boy? But
as the months pass, Alex can no longer ignore Cole's small put-downs,
pinches, or increasingly violent threats. As Alex struggles to come to
terms with the sweet boyfriend she fell in love with and the boyfriend
whose "love" she no longer recognizes, she is forced to choose - between
her "true love" and herself.
