dark emotional slow-paced

4.0

Reading this book was out of my comfort zone as I’m not use to reading this type of story that involves drugs and the hardships this person went through. Cherry wasn’t a perfect person, he struggled with drug addiction, and as the story progresses you see the lengths he’ll go in order to get his drug fix. Overall, I’m glad I read this book, it was gritty and didn’t hold back on the dark side of drug abuse.
