This one started slow for me, but I think that is because the topics of addiction and race are heavy. The stories were moving and relevant, so overall a good read.

A compilation of many stories told from various perspectives. Snippets of lives lived and lost. So many sad tales of lost people but at least there is a glimmer of hope in the end.

The flipping perspectives were a little disorienting.  Overall okay.  A story about identity and addiction.
