All in all, this was a decent read, but it was lacking in a few areas that really could've made it a great read. Perhaps this would've been better off as a short story, similar to the individual excerpts from each drug we saw within every chapter.

Drugs are personified to be like deities, existing and interacting with you when they take that drug. Most of them have the goal of taking the person to 'the Party' which is where they can be handed off to 'stronger' drugs or taken into the VIP room which is the equivalent of ODing.
So a massive TW for drug abuse, plus also toxic relationship.
<minor-spoiler> The story mainly follows a brother and sister Isaac and Ivy, and you learn from the first chapter that one of them dies, you just don't know who. </minor-spoiler>
Doing some research into who the characters are before reading the book is useful, for example, Mary Jane is marijuana, and she has a business suit because she is legalised now. So all of the drugs have their own corresponding personality and description.
Overall, this book is amazing and should definitely be read by more people.
