Insightful and a unique position on an important issue. Leaves room for the reader to think in consider multiple facets. Character voice was strong, and the plot was gripping. Parents: definitely important things for kids to be aware of are discussed, but check content warnings and be open to discussions with your child about many things.

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.

Minor: Child abuse, Emotional abuse, and Rape

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.
