I enjoyed the book! But it left me hanging at the end!! I think it's a must read if hers! :)

Addiction stories are not my genre. I'll read anything Jennifer Weiner puts out, and the book is certainly readable, but just not my favorite topic.

I found this book very interesting (entertaining just didn't seem to be an appropriate word here). This story is about a mom, busy with her daughter, husband, elderly parents, and job, and her descent into the world of pills. The characters are likeable; the plot easy to follow; and the ending, not necessarily happy but not bad either.

A very real look into prescription pill issues that are often ignored, but so prevalent. I really felt myself going through the emotions with the main character and could see how easily addiction can happen, even with a smart, functioning upperclass woman.

I used to love Jennifer Weiner but she had been leaving me cold lately and I was somewhat reluctant to even pick this up but once I started to read I couldn't really put it down.
I thought the first section with Allison's spiral into addiction was great but once she got to rehab it started to lose me and by the final chapters I felt like it was all rushed and big chunks of the story seemed to go missing. I feel like Weiner just saw her deadline looming and threw the last third of the book together just to get it done.

It's really like a 3.5-3.75. It held my attention, but I can't imagine I'd recommend it to anyone.

This was a difficult book to read. At first, I did not have much sympathy for Allison. However, later in the book, you find out more about the reasons for her addiction and the struggle she went through to stay sober.
