We‘d just hit the sweet spot too: perched at the top of the arc, between all the crap you go through as a rising amateur player and the inevitable plunge that follows once you hit pro levels.
pickThis debut novel from Karen Tucker takes on two women dealing with Opioid addition. Luce and Irene, have been friends for years. They met as addicts, and they cleaned up their act together. Luce has made the hard decision to move to Florida with her boyfriend, who OD‘s the night before they are supposed to leave. What Tucker, writes is about the spiraling of these two women.
pickThis is a hard book to review because it hit so hard. ⚠️If you have ever struggled with addiction, loved an addict, or are in recovery this book is going to rip your heart open & leave you raw.⚠️ Irene & Luce meet while working at a crummy, small town pool hall & become fast friends. Both are from families with a history of substance use disorders. As their friendship & drug use grow, you have to ask 'Can you love someone to death?' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
pickI couldn't put this down! With heartfelt honesty, Tucker has written one of the best stories about female friendships, love, loss and addiction I have ever read! How she coveyed addiction so distinctly, and not just to a substance but to a person, and a friendship. Beautifully done, so emotional and real. If you liked Marlena or reading coming of age stories/addiction stories I think you will enjoy this one! #bookreview #bookstagram
