Victimless Crime by Jeanette Powers is a gut wrenching grenade of a story that hits the nerve of every person who’s stayed too long in a toxic relationship. The story plays out through three days of a woman waiting for her partner to come out of his bedroom: where she’s actually sure he’s dead of an overdose or suicide, but will not open the door to check on him. Our unreliable narrator bounces between memory and moment to tell a tale of profound revelation, deep trauma, and how to navigate and survive a world full of addiction, sexual abuse, rape, self-harm, mental illness and toxic relationships.
