This is a hugely confronting story about addiction, and how it affects the people around an addict more so than that of the addict. It’s a powerful story to tell, and I think this book did a great job of it.
Told in past and present timelines, you really feel for Mickey as she struggles through childhood and adolescence with a sister she loves dearly but worries for.
Hidden amongst the story of heartbreak within a family is a crime that Michaela is investigating and worried she may be linked to in more ways than one.
Sad and hopeful simultaneously.
