someone recommended this book so that I could understand them better. I was optimistic about Tweak because it has been on my radar and I've heard good things about it, so I got the push I needed to finally listen to it.
I...didn't enjoy this book. I think Nic Sheff does a great job capturing his authentic mindset, how his addiction impacted the way he thought and acted. It's like listening to his journal with his messy thoughts. That part I can appreciate. But overall, I didn't find it a pleasant listening experience (which I understand is "the point"). Nic was extremely privileged to have a safety net; an affluent family, white privilege that prevented him from getting arrested several times, and connections that got him jobs.
I thought the book would end around the halfway point, but then Nic relapsed and there were 6 more hours of the book left.
I'm not going to dunk on Nic Sheff as a person. This is his personal experience with drugs and addiction. what I will dunk on is the quality, pacing, and impact of the book on me - personally - as someone who has been directly impacted by living with an addict.
