If you’re looking for a gritty memoir of addition and self destruction, this is the one for you. I didn’t find it terribly compelling and Dresner didn’t make me like her at all (and maybe that was the point?). This needed an editor to clean it up because several parts were repetitive and if I had to read how small and pretty she was, I might have stopped reading. It does start off with a bang with her domestic violence charge because she pulled a knife out in her then husband and then goes from there. It does do a good job of showing how ugly addiction is.

Boring, no real story of interest just in and out of rehab but nothing juicy in between

BRILLIANT. Raw, heart-wrenching, and just completely BRILLIANT. I couldn’t put it down, and thought about it when I wasn’t reading it. Absolutely loved every minute of this book, and the honesty and vulnerability with which Amy tells her story

This book was great, the narration was awesome I listened to it on audio. I like audiobooks for memoirs I feel like I connect more when it’s the author reading them!
