Grief is not a 5 step process and I understand what the author was looking to achieve. However, this was a terrible read. When a writer uses profanities & passive language throughout, I find it’s lazy writing. I do appreciate this was written in the first person, however, it felt very amateur. The theme of addiction is a tricky one to get right and this missed the mark - it dealt with it at surface level. I really wanted to like this book after reading reviews online, but it failed to succeed.
