If you’re looking at reviews wondering if you should read this book- stop and DO IT! Despite some upsetting subject matter I could not put this book down. The author has done a superb job of showing the many sides of addiction and homelessness in Canada. A truly excellent and very worth-while read that has stuck with me.
