I thought this was truly an authentic book and look into the lives of people dealing with someone who struggles with addiction. As someone who has been in that place (not struggling with addiction, but knowing/loving someone who has), I found Glasgow's writing to feel realistic and not glamorizing any of the truths behind addiction. At times the pacing felt a little uneven, but the characters were incredibly strong and multi-faceted, and the content was treated with both care and obvious research, which made this a very strong book in my eyes. Wonderful to read as someone who has been on that side of addiction, and it is without a doubt an eye-opening book for anyone regardless of their experiences.
