Going For Broke is a bold and unflinchingly intimate portrait of a young woman caught between reality and self -will. Set against the backdrop of urban Manchester, this emotionally charged story explores the quiet resilience of a woman learning to navigate the wreckage of a controlling relationship while attempting to find herself in the process.
Sarah thought love meant sacrifice. She gave up her degree, her friends, jobs and her voice, until the debts piled up, the flat soured, and Jack's charm began to crack. From hostel shifts to psychiatric wards, from broken taps to broken promises, Going For Broke traces Sarah's journey through co-dependency, trauma, and the slow, fierce fight to choose herself.
This isn't a story of clean breaks or easy redemption. It's about the messy middle, the moments when love feels like loss, and healing begins in the smallest acts of defiance."
With its raw emotional honesty and vivid sense of place, Going For Broke offers readers a powerful exploration of domestic abuse and the courage to create your own narrative. It's a novel for anyone who's ever stayed too long, loved too hard, or sought happiness in self-immolation.
