Smacked: A Story of White-Collar Ambition, Addiction, and Tragedy by Eilene Zimmerman

3.0

3.5 stars. I enjoyed this personal story of one family's tragedy and experience with the epidemic that is opioid addiction. I thought the view of drug addiction as it relates to white collar jobs was really interesting. The personal parts of the story in the first half of the book were definitely interesting and took courage and vulnerability to write. However, I was more drawn to the second half of the book which was heavily fact and research based. Overall, an important and timely story.
