A heart-wrenching novel about a sixteen-year-old girl trapped in an abusive relationship--and the path she takes to freedom and happiness, from award-winning author Heather Demetrios.

"Like Speak, it is one of those rare books that can have a real, lasting impact on readers, and can start important conversations." --Adi Alsaid, author of Let's Get Lost and Never Always Sometimes

Grace wants out. Out of her house, where her stepfather wields fear like a weapon and her mother makes her scrub imaginary dirt off the floors. Out of her California town, too small to contain her big city dreams. Out of her life, and into the role of Parisian artist, New York director--anything but scared and alone.

Enter Gavin: charming, talented, adored. Controlling. Dangerous. When Grace and Gavin fall in love, Grace is sure it's too good to be true. She has no idea their relationship will become a prison she's unable to escape.

A deeply affecting and unflinchingly honest portrayal of a destructive relationship, Bad Romance is a young adult novel about spiraling into darkness--and emerging into the light again.

Praise for Bad Romance

"Like Speak, it is one of those rare books that can have a real, lasting impact on readers, and can start important conversations." --Adi Alsaid, author of Let's Get Lost and Never Always Sometimes

"A raw, honest, unrelenting novel. Demetrios writes with heartbreaking clarity about the way first love can turn from safe to dangerous, from beautiful to ugly. Brave, bold, and deeply felt." --Corey Ann Haydu, author of OCD Love Story and The Careful Undressing of Love

" A]n intense reflection on abusive relationships." --Publishers Weekly

"Through Grace's lively, engaging voice, readers gain a vivid picture of the way a smart, self-assured girl can fall into an abusive relationship . . . .

Great!
Size: 4 Pieces
I have a mini Australian Shepherd (37 lbs) and she loves this! She can get level one but has a tougher time with level 2. I have tried 3 but she gives up so she hasn't gotten further than that lol. She is quite stubborn and gives up easy if she can't figure something out and is totally over it. The quality is great as it is thick and not easy to destroy. My fur baby does love it, she seems to think it is fun for at least an hour so it is worth it in my eyes. There are times I have to do something that takes longer and I just can't play with her so this is perfect for her. It was definitely worth the money

Durable & fun for aggressive chewers.
Color: Yellow
Holding up very well for our aggressive chewer. Squeaker is still intact & our 70-pound pittie breed often chooses this toy to play with over others. Pittie approved.

Not at all indestructible
It was well loved while it lasted. But this fish was delivered on Saturday and I’m writing my review on Tuesday morning. So we are looking at roughly 3 days of play. I bought the fish toy and almost immediately the fins were ripped off. But I figured as long as the body stayed intact we’d be good. But it wasn’t long before the body was ripped open as well. Very disappointed. Evidently my dog’s bite is more damaging than a bullet? I’m sure it will last all in all a week before there’s no saving it anymore. Will look for other better toys for my super chewer.

Lasted the longest of any toy we bought yet!
Very happy with the toys we bought so far! The owl didn’t last as long as the raccoon. The raccoon lost his ear pretty quickly, but the rest of the toy has held up for almost a month now. That is *significantly* longer than any other stuffed animal toy we’ve tried so far. Pretty much any other stuffed animal toy we’ve tried from Kong or elsewhere has fallen apart in a few days. This is a good toy for sharp puppy teeth! Also such cute designs. Just bought the Mallard, excited to see how it goes!

Not Pitty Proof..
Color: Bear, Color: Bear
The toy itself was very detailed and cute, But my potty had the toy about 10 mins and she took the leg off .. it’s a bit pricey. Since it didn’t last long so .. if you have pitty save your money and don’t buy it ..
