This book was very challenging to read. Anyone who knows or has lost someone to addiction this book can be very triggering. I think this book did an amazing job at shows how poverty, classism, capitalism, addiction, and trauma affect people but specifically the Appalachian people. This book has very flawed characters which just adds to the depths of the characters. Although this book explored dark topics it still kept you engaged the entire time.
