Audiobook pick:
If you like character driven novels, you will likely enjoy this. I usually need more action, but this was actually well paced. The backstories were good. I got invested in all their broken stories and how they converged.

Relaxing weekend…. Finished ✅

5🌟/5🌟

Heartbreaking book. Classified as YA, and I‘d say it fits that mainly because the main character is a teenager….. but wow, the subject matter tackled here is intense and heavy and heartbreaking. I thought it was a really spot on book about addiction - about the addict of course, but also about the “collateral damage” to his/her family and friends. Powerful. #TBRtarot for January (book starting with You)

You want to read this! It wasn‘t at all like I imagined. A group of individuals stuck in their own rut/pit struggle together in a library to survive a brutal blizzard. In the darkness they open up to each other, disclosing deep secrets. In the others responses, they get glimpse of another view for their problems. Triggers might be addiction and alcoholism, but for me the scenes/memories were realistic.

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

Una commovente storia di dipendenza raccontata dal punto di vista di chi vuole bene a un tossicodipendente.

Book #86
4/5
This memoir offers an in-depth account of a father's experience with his son's addiction. Sheff did a fantastic job of combining and balancing personal experience with statistical and objective research about drugs, parenting, interventions, and recovery, to name a few.
