Dry by Augusten Burroughs
4.0

Augusten Burroughs writes fast paced engaging dialogue introducing characters you remember. It's a memoir, and like Running With Scissors, engaging and an emotional roller coaster. At first I hated him, then I rooted for him, then I was hard hit by his friend's death from AIDS. His realization of how much he loved this man is heart wrenching because he pulled away and was barely able to be friends with the person because of his addiction. It's a wheelhouse fast read that made me want to read more of his books.
