This book helped me understand what grief that i had looked like and gave me a lot if quotes that touch on grief to help me through the process. I loved this book my only big complaint is it took me a few chapters to understand what POV i was reading from.

Im glad the author didn’t have Emory get back with gage after he did what he did.

This book was a really interesting depiction of addiction from the younger sisters perspective. I don’t know much about addiction so it was so interesting to read this book and learn more about it, especially how it impacts the family. I thought the last chapter was slightly cliche but other than that I thought it was such a good book and definitely worth reading.

This book was so insanely accurate to addiction, on any side. I've been in both Emory and Joey's shoes, and this book spoke to me in a way I never expected. It took a minute for me to get used to the writing style of Glasgow, but god she depicted everything I've gone through so well.

Emory's relationship with a character named Gage Galt, is purely sexual even though Emory doesn't want it to be. Emory says everything was consensual but it was really clearly more of emotional manipulation.
