I don’t really have a lot of words to describe my thoughts on this book yet. But I did thoroughly enjoy my time reading it.

The text is not an authentic text. It is written by someone who has no idea what real addiction looks like.

If you have ever struggled with addiction, pick another book to read. Pick one that captures addiction in a compassionate way.

I like this book as a snapshot of life in the 1970s. A lot of the text brought me back to the pain of being a teenager. However, a lot of the plot isn't very plausible. There's also a lot of homophobia thrown in for no reason. I waited until after I finished the book to look up anything about its publication, and found out the real author's identity. That was very illuminating.

Harrowing because it happens to so many children, including kids I know. This book has been in mind for weeks after I finished it. Every page I was introduced to a new drug that I've never heard of ,,

I absolutely love this book, it really opens your eyes to not everything is what it looks like. And you never know what's going on behind closed doors.
