This book made me cry so many times. I heard about the movie but never watched it and decided to give the book a go before I even think about watching the movie and I am so glad I did. This is a memoir of a dad about his life with a son who’s addicted to meth and he describes perfectly the way he feels during everything Nic (his son) and the rest of the family goes through. Personally if you can handle the topics of drug abuse and those don’t trigger you, then I think everyone should read this. It’s so sad but so damn real and I will definitely reread it somewhen and really go to town with annotations. I just couldn’t put the book down and even read it until 3am last night because I just needed to finish it. This is a book that will stay with you forever and you’ll think about it often. It’s just so good and heartbreaking. Also I am so thankful that people like David and Nic share their story because I just know that they help so many people by doing it. It must be hard to revisit those times during writing as well as discussing the book but I just know how much hope and strength this book might give someone who’s going through something similar. People tend to forget that addiction is a disease and one we need to talk about more often since it’s one that is as present or even more present to this day. Really…whoever you are read this and let it stay with you.
