Well this book was so dang good! 
I couldn’t tell you how many times I cried over this book and I feel so bad for Emmy she’s never seen but Daniel sees her. What I’m really mad abt is how you don’t find out what happens after Joey goes to rehab but I also kinda like how it needed with the paper. I would definitely recommend this book. And read it again. So over all I’m rating this book 5 stars!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Hope this helped🖤

”This need to get lost in something other than yourself. Lose yourself. Erase yourself. So that none of your awful, wrong self remains, not one blessed thing“
I know this book is mainly about addiction. But Kathleen Glasgow portraits the need to lose yourself in someone else so beautifully. I have never heard someone get that! I do this… Like a lot… and I so get Emmy…
 
But now speaking of the book!
Another Masterpiece, my personal second favorite glasgow book!!
The struggle of addiction, no matter what kind, is a life long process, fight and “struggle”! What I love about these books ist that they’re brutally honest! No need to glorify, romanticise or talk things down! Life is brutal! 
Yet these books have something so wonderful and beautiful about them! They seem fragile and I always get the need to protect everyone in the books…
I don’t know how to say it, but I wouldn’t be the version of myself that I am rn without these books! 
forever grateful <3
