Before getting into what this book offered, I need to mention the racial descriptions (and unnecessary and inaccurate accents by the audiobook reader), fatphobia, and subtle sexism were all highly offputting. That said, Tweak gives naked insight into one young man's path to, struggle with, and recovery from addiction. I am glad that I read what seems to be an accurate (or at least realistic) account of such an experience. I will carry this with me in my practice as a care-giver. That said, Nic Sheff did not write solely about crime and drug use. He wrote about introspection, spirituality, relationships, meaning, and healing. It may not be a highly necessary book (though maybe D.A.R.E. die-hards would suggest otherwise), but I am grateful nonetheless that I came across it.
