Synopsis

We fear dark alleys, when in truth, home is the most dangerous place for a woman. Of the 87,000 women killed globally in 2017, more than a third (30,000) were killed by an intimate partner, and another 20,000 were killed by a family member. These statistics tell us something that's almost impossible to grapple with: it's not the stranger in the dark women should fear, but the men they fall in love with.

See What You Made Me Do is not only a searing investigation, but also a dissection of how that violence can be enabled and reinforced by the judicial system we trust to protect us. It carefully dismantles the flawed logic of victim-blaming and challenges everything you thought you knew about psychological abuse and emotional abuse relationships, while shining a spotlight on domestic violence awareness and abuse awareness.

This is a book about love, abuse, and power. It's about turning our stubborn beliefs and assumptions inside out and confronting one of the most complex issues of our time. Through the eyes of survivors and perpetrators, Hill has wandered into the horrific underworld of domestic abuse. Now is the time for us to see what is hiding in plain sight.

Contains mature themes.

Goodreads review by Neale on February 14, 2020

Longlisted for the 2020 Stella Prize. In the very first paragraph of the introduction, the brief statistics given have enough force to make you stop and reread them. In the office of Safe Steps, Victoria’s 24/7 family violence helpline, the phones, at their busiest time, ring every three minutes. THR......more

I'm making it my personal mission to put this book into the hands of more Australian men. Young men, old men, queer men, family men, single men, "nice guys", all of them.......more

Goodreads review by matt on July 06, 2019

Jess Hill’s See What You Made Me Do is an unexpectedly page-turning read on the cruel and harrowing tragedy playing out in kitchens and bedrooms across Australia. What makes this powerful, though, is its sense of hope. As Jess writes, “Social problems often seem insurmountable, until they’re not.” I......more

Goodreads review by Keira on November 11, 2020

As a survivor of family violence, this book explained my own life back to me. I did not understand coercive control before, and now that I do everything has fallen into place. I have never heard it explained until I read this book, and I've been reading feminist literature for 20 years. This book giv......more
