i just love anything that kathleen glasgow writes she gives such a detailed, realistic description of important issues, in this case drug addiction. it was difficult for me to get through at first because it reminded me so much of my own life but once i managed it its such a beautiful book that details the things you dont see from other people. it made me cry several times and is definitely in my top 3 books
towards the end when max calls emory and they find joey is such a beautiful scene. the way that joey was relieved to see max to know he would call her felt so good after all the horrible shit he probably experienced during the 45 days he was missing. i was just so happy that after all that time he was able to not just get help and accept it as well. such a good ending to Joey’s story. Their father also kind of appearing after essentially not being there for the majority of the book was satisfying as well and the way he opened up their hearts to the people struggling and used their money for something good to help people like Joey, such amazing character development i loved this book so much
