dark reflective medium-paced

2.5

I admire how raw and honest Nic is; however, the writing is simplistic and immature. There are some times when over shares intimate details which are intended to be raunchy but are just overly graphic instead. Could have left those details out of the book entirely.

He writes like a child. simple sentences; nothing complex. Very repetitive, feelings and thoughts are partially investigated. This book is a dragged on and is unedited use of 300+ pages which could have been shortened into a more impactful piece.

The celebrity name dropping is also ridiculous. It’s obvious we’re supposed to think Nic is cool with all these connections; but it’s just cringe.

I do, however, appreciate Nic’s honesty. He explores these feelings of needing to be accepted by others and the justification of his self-destruction when he cannot achieve these goals of being better than everyone else. I really appreciated this exploration as it applies to everyone. The emphasis on mental health was also enjoyed, thought it could have been explored more.

I could not set this book down. I started it on a whim one night and finished it two days later. I read Beautiful Boy a couple years ago and absolutely loved it, and I feel the same about this book. My dad was an addict off and on from high school to his 30’s (I think?). He’s been clean and sober for many years now and I’m so proud of him, but since knowing and seeing his history, I have alway been curious and leaned toward reading books and consuming media about addiction. Tweak is hard to read. I think if you or someone you know has struggled with addiction, you can’t help but think about them when you’re reading stuff like this. But even still, this is genuinely one of the best memoirs I’ve ever read. It’s so deeply honest. Nic is a phenomenal writer and artist. I admire him for telling his story without holding back.
This is a long winded review, but this book is worth your time, if you’ve thought about picking it up.
