Kid by Jescie Hall

5.0

4.75

Woooow!! This book was a whole ass trip and a pleasure. Jescie really did take us in the mind of addict in the most vulnerable way while also putting us in the pain of grief, the happiness and pain of love, and the darkness and beauty of life.

This book was such a contradiction the whole way through. It was heavy topics and content, but with such heart, it made it feel light. Your heart breaks for all the characters but you have this side plot of a happy couple finally finding their way(Hawke & Cole) you see Kid's obsession but feel his love and than you have Han who you see is drowning while also opening up.

I wanted to hug Kai, and I wanted Han's style. The growth we see in the characters mentally was mind-blowing!! The spice was spicy, but the passion definitely made it hotter. I thought I was going to walk away feeling heavy after reading this, but I just felt proud. What a fantastic read!

Please Please check trigger warnings before reading this book!!
