i enjoyed it for the most part. i feel like while it portrayed addiction very well it leaves a lot of questions unanswered. i feel like this is a very solid 4  - 3.5 star book.

This book was much different from what I expected. It tackles grief and addiction in such a unique way, that about halfway through the novel it changes from what you expect it to be into something totally different and I think it sticks the landing.
