Publisher's Summary

Leslie Morgan Steiner met the love of her life at age 22, soon after graduating from Harvard and starting her first job at Seventeen magazine in New York. She fell for his self-deprecating wit and street smarts - and especially his unabashed worship of her. They married and spent four years together. At first Leslie felt like the woman of his dreams.

Then she discovered her husband had been beaten as a child, taught by his parents that intimacy and rage danced together. He brought violence into their life, pouring coffee grinds over her hair, choking and threatening her with a gun during arguments. Several times, he came close to making good on his threats to kill her. Leslie's mistake is one millions identify with: she fell in love with the wrong man. It took one last terrifying attack to convince her that he would kill her one day if she let him.

Gripping and compelling, Crazy Love unravels the traps laid by love, mesmerizing listeners with insights into why smart women stay in unhealthy relationships - and how one found the courage to leave.

Good read

First audio book I have enjoyed. Good narration. Insightful look into domestic violence and narcissism, and the difficulty of getting out.

An important story, no doubt.

Memoirs of this nature are very important. However, the choice of narrator didn't quite match the tone and content of the story. It grated on me a bit. But that's just me.

loved the honesty and detail

This book is full of honesty, I loved the story and insight into aggressive behaviour in intimate relationships. A part I recognised but do not hear many women talk about is wanting to stay because I love him. And wanting to stay because he needs me, I won't abandon him, I can fix him. a great listen.
Although, I found the narration annoying. it would have sounded better with more emotion, a voice that sounds like a friend chatting over drinks.

Terrible

Writing is mediocre at best. Story is not believable (not the part about spousal abuse- just... everything else). Story flow is wtf.
i did listen to it til the end, because it's better than talk-radio (only marginally).
if it's still free and you like bleh books, give this a go. but if you have *anything* better to listen to, then listen to that instead, coz this was not worth my time.

ps: i just realized this was a memoir, aka a true story. im sorry this happened to the author... but the writing is still terrible. sorry.
