A review by sjj169
Bewilderness by Karen Tucker

4.0

Irene and Luce are young waitresses that have been clean from drugs for almost a year. Something bad happens and they spiral back into their past.
Hell I can't describe this book I don't know why I'm trying to be all fancy with it.

Here's what I think. At first I thought this book was kinda slow and that I was getting my hopes up for a good book to be let down. I finally decided to give it another go before it expired from my library loan. I read the thing in just a few hours and now I'm sitting here almost sick to my stomach from it.
Sick to my stomach because this book pulls no punches. It tells exactly what happens when you either see or are caught up in opioid addiction.
I'm going to be honest I do not know whether to recommend it or tell everyone to keep their heads in the sand. If you do brave it be ready. This is some powerful writing. Karen Tucker is going to take you there and hold your head while you almost throw up from the truth.
