Quick, short stories that seem written well and provide some insight. A classic 4/5.

I quite liked this collection, though it is kind of annoying when the contributors write overly specific Canuck references and the sort and act as if everyone knows what it means, or who a person is, etc. I'm Canuck myself but I have heard of like 0 of the authors mentioned in the essays, other than I suppose the authors of them now.

Like most anthologies, some entries were way better or easier to connect with than others. I didn’t particularly enjoy this book but it did seem to distinguish between the intellectual and emotional aspects of addictions and that was definitely a plus since most people who don’t experience addiction only see it intellectually.
