This book HURT. I think it handled the very controversial topic of addiction very well. The writing is engaging and very layered. The concept of drugs using people and not the other way around is a very fresh perspective on addiction, one that I enjoyed. This book was a hard read but a necessary one. Neal shusterman handles mental illness with grace and this one felt like a waltz.
