All Fall Down by Jennifer Weiner
4.0
I love the way Jennifer Weiner writes. Time and time again I pick up one of her books, and have a hard time putting it down until I am finished. All Fall Down was no exception.
She writes about addiction in a way that I could understand and empathize with. Having never experienced addiction, nor been close to anyone who struggled with it, it's had to understand how people can go from seeming to have it all together to an addict. Allison's story is one I can relate to. Someone who seems to have it all together, hasn't suffered any significant trauma or abuse, and still finds herself addicted to pain killers. It really brought an understand of this disease home to me in a way that I hadn't experienced before.
