At first. The summer before senior year, seventeen-year-old Chloe thinks she's found the perfect boyfriend in Kieran, an aspiring actor, but he soon reveals a darker side to his charming quirks and carefree attitude.

Review :
"The three hours of sleep I sacrificed to finish this book were totally worth it ... a meaningful and empowering book." - Fallxnrobin "Hoag has grounded the story in the psychological reality of how abusive relationships can occur at any age. Girl on the Brink serves as a beacon that shines light on how to nip potential abuse cycles in the bud." - Midwest Book Reviews"I felt so much for Chloe because she is so alone at times in the story and I realize there are millions of Chloes out there. Chloe's story could easily have been anyone's story. I am so grateful to Christina Hoag for sharing this powerful story." - Never 2 Many 2 Read"Such an emotional rollercoaster that makes you really see what goes through someone's head when abuse starts out so slowly. The flow in this story is flawless and to see how it ended makes me love it even more." - Audiobook Obsession"Reading about Chloe and Kieran's relationship was like reliving the nightmare of what my friend experienced when we were teenagers...the manipulation, the mind control, the separation from family and friends, the intimidation, and the physical abuse. And it was scary. Christina Hoag is very effective in her storytelling as she depicts the many stages of this relationship and the aftermath of its demise." - Actin Up with Books "The novel is well written, the story is completely believable, characters and dialog felt realistic, and the cycle of abuse is portrayed frightfully accurately. Unlike other domestic abuse stories I have read, this one doesn't end when Chloe "frees herself." "I liked that it went further into the aftermath of it all." - AudiobookReviewer.com "Much like Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson, Girl on the Brink is a book people NEED to read." - Author Rachel Barnard "All in all, I absolutely recommend this book!!!" - Kendra Loves Books"Girl on the Brink is a must read for all teenagers. It's both light and dark, happy and sad. -Caroline Andrus, author"This is a book all teens and women should listen to. It really brings home just how easy it is to slip into and how hard to overcome that circle of abuse is." -Rabid Reader
