dark emotional reflective sad tense medium-paced

4.25

This book was graphic, yet powerful and emotional. The descriptions of drug abuse and sex were hard to read, but I found the themes of the book both important and moving.

challenging dark emotional reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

The heaviest, rawest memoir I’ve ever read — and I think the most important. The audiobook was exquisitely done and moved me to tears. I am in awe of Brian Broome.
