Todd Tyrtle reviewed Dopesick by Beth Macy
Review of 'Dopesick' on 'Storygraph'
4 stars
What a fascinating book. It has the dubious honour of being the first book I ever put on my "Didn't finish" shelf not because I didn't like it but because it was, in some ways too good.
Too scary, infuriating, upsetting and anxiety inducing for me to continue with. It's also, really sad. I do volunteer work regularly with many folks who are addicted and of course that's upsetting and stressful. (But I'm glad I can help) but reading this just put this at the top of my mind all the time.
But readers better at dealing with this than I will enjoy this I think.
