Powerful. This book is about navigating addiction and single motherhood. Sonya was once a famous actress, however after becoming a mother her life took a turn. She fell into a battle with alcoholism.
Each and every page was raw, chaotic, and pulled at my heart. I was emotional at every step of Sonya and her four year olds story. Tommy is a sweet and unique child who Sonya undoubtedly loves. She has a uniqueness that she brings to motherhood, however the addiction stands her in the way.
The writing of this book was really what brought it to life. Each chapter was short and easy to breeze through. The author brings a chaotic energy to Sonya’s narration which emulates what she is going through.
I felt like there was something missing to the ending as the story ended abruptly. There were some pieces of their story I felt were left hanging, however this could be intentional on the author's part.
I rounded this up to ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ on goodreads.
