Was very emotional and good representation for those struggling with addiction and family affected by it.

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.
