Tweak: Growing Up on Methamphetamines by Nic Sheff

5.0

This is the second time I am reading Tweak, and it really opened up my eyes in different ways than last time. The first time I read this book was in high school and I was 17 years old working with kids. I have never been around drugs or people who are struggling with addiction and this book changed my thoughts from my naivety. Now, rereading it at 22 living by myself and working in a pharmacy, I feel like I can understand life and Nic’s point of view more.
I have never been the reader who writes or tabs her books, I just never saw the point or urge of it. However, rereading Tweak today, I found myself wanting to remember certain lines and mark Nic Sheff’s words with something to really show that I understand and its important. Its 11:06pm and I just finished it for the second time, and I can confidently say that I cried both times. I recommend this book more than any other book, however, please be aware that Nic Sheff goes into incredible detail and that can be triggering to some. 12/10, deserves more that a simple rating.
