All Fall Down by Jennifer Weiner

2.0

I have enjoyed all of Jennifer Weiner's books. I was really looking forward to this one, but it just didn't hold up for me. As someone who has watched a family member struggle with addiction, I know how difficult it can be. I think Jennifer Weiner had good intentions, but everything seemed very sugar-coated. The lead character, Allison, skates by in everything, and even her rock-bottom wasn't at the level most addicts have to reach. It's not possible to "escape" from a rehab facility, and addiction isn't something that is just fixed and tied up in a happy ending. 2 stars, but I'm looking forward to her next one, hoping it will be as good as her past ones have been.
