Dreamland: The True Tale of America's Opiate Epidemic by Sam Quinones

5.0

Fantastic book. I learned so many new things, it generated a ton of discussion among my friends, and it has a lot of important history and context that is crucial to understanding the opioid epidemic. I also appreciate the way it was told; this wasn't just a history lesson. We are seeing perspectives of so many different people, who played different parts, and were impacted in different ways. It made me see people in ways I never have before.

(Also, there is a young adult version of this book and apparently, the editing is much better. I would recommend reading that version because this book was very repetitive.)
