i don’t necessarily know how to feel. very heavy stuff. whether it’s real or not i don’t think is that important. even if it is simply 1970s propaganda about drugs, it definitely tells you a lot about that period of time and the politicisation of drug use. i’m not sure how believable the narrator is as a supposed 15 year old and i’m surprised all her trauma didn’t impact her in more ways than it did. but either way the story is depressing and shows you how all-consuming and difficult addiction can be.

i have mixed feelings about this book and considering the fact that it follows a true story im not going to share those opinions. i respect it for what it is but thats it.
