Sometimes it means smiling when there really isn’t anything to smile about. It doesn’t necessarily mean concealing bruises with long sleeves and makeup. ‘Die For You’ offers insight into controlling relationships and how abuse isn’t always a physical thing. I mean, he’s only behaving the way he is because he loves her, right? That’s when Emma starts to notice that maybe her relationship with Dillon isn’t as perfect as it seems. When a perfect opportunity arises for Emma, it threatens the future she and Dillon have planned. Their future together is set – from going to Arizona State University together the upcoming year and beyond. They share this connected bond over loss and pain (Dillon’s dad died a couple years prior), which makes their relationship even closer. It’s the type of love that only happens once in a lifetime. Emma and Dillon’s love is fierce and passionate. The one thing that is stable in Emma’s life is her boyfriend, Dillon, whom she met shortly after moving with her dad. Because of the chaos caused by her parents’ divorce, Emma has mostly given up on her dreams of working in archaeology to take care of her father. She’s left her friends and sister to move an hour away and live with her dad, who is not taking the split well. The YA novel follows Emma, a high school senior whose parents have recently separated. ‘Die For You’ by Amy Fellner Dominy was no exception.
