Yet another amazing book by Kathleen Glasgow. Real depictions of addiction and the effects on family and community, along with how addicts are treated and the stigma around mental illness. The reality of recovery and relapse. Realistic character flaws and development. I love Kathleen Glasgow.

A thought provoking read on addiction and its affect on others, this novel is hard to forget.
“You’d be Home by Now,” follows Emory as her brother struggles with addiction and what it means to truly recover. It was an interesting choice to depict this struggle from the eyes of a loved one instead of the person dealing with addiction, but one I truly appreciated. From a different standpoint readers saw the impact of drugs on everyone around the user, shaping life as they know it.
The conversation surrounding this topic were handled well, and so were discussions on slut shaming and economic class.
There were some plot points which weren’t my favorite as well as social media and gen z comments which felt forced. It was hard for me to rate this unbiased, because How to Make Friends with the dark was such a staple in my own grieving process.
Overall, I would recommend (but please check trigger warnings before reading).

Glasgow's writing just really hits hard. You know that going into one of her books, and this was no different. Stay tuned for a full review later this week!
