My Fair Junkie: A Memoir of Getting Dirty and Staying Clean by Amy Dresner

2.0

If you’re looking for a gritty memoir of addition and self destruction, this is the one for you. I didn’t find it terribly compelling and Dresner didn’t make me like her at all (and maybe that was the point?). This needed an editor to clean it up because several parts were repetitive and if I had to read how small and pretty she was, I might have stopped reading. It does start off with a bang with her domestic violence charge because she pulled a knife out in her then husband and then goes from there. It does do a good job of showing how ugly addiction is.
