I don’t rate memoirs.
Gosh this was hard. Reading this right after his father’s book truly was heartbreaking. I liked Beautiful Boy more than I did this one, but these stories are so important. Everyone should be able to read and consume such stories and I’m so glad Nic decided to write it all down.

This is the same sad story as the one told in Beautiful Boy by David Sheff but, here, from the perspective of his drug-addicted son, Nic Sheff. I recommend reading Beautiful Boy first.

Beautiful Boy really impacted me when I read it in 10th grade, so it was nice to finally follow up with this side of the story. So raw – MAYBE too much, could use one more edit on the writing. Thanks to my friend Jason for lending this to me years ago and I'm sorry for never giving it back.
