I know this book is mainly about addiction. But Kathleen Glasgow portraits the need to lose yourself in someone else so beautifully. I have never heard someone get that! I do this… Like a lot… and I so get Emmy…
But now speaking of the book!
Another Masterpiece, my personal second favorite glasgow book!!
The struggle of addiction, no matter what kind, is a life long process, fight and “struggle”! What I love about these books ist that they’re brutally honest! No need to glorify, romanticise or talk things down! Life is brutal!
Yet these books have something so wonderful and beautiful about them! They seem fragile and I always get the need to protect everyone in the books…
I don’t know how to say it, but I wouldn’t be the version of myself that I am rn without these books!
forever grateful <3
