I rated this a "3" only because I was looking for an ending to the story of addiction. Whether it was a good ending or a bad ending, I felt cheated out of an ending. To be continued.... The whole drug addiction world is maddening and sad. Non-addicts see the common sense where in addicts only...
This was such a powerful story. It is about Nicole, a 23 year old girl who becomes addicted to heroin and her journey through all the pain that goes with being an addict. I have had addicts as friends and this is an excellent portrayal of what happens and can happen to you. With drugs you either ...
Charlie's life is just a series of unhappy and unfortunate events. The past story of Emma and Charlie's and seperation from the Hunt's will bring you to tears and all that is Lilly and Charlie's past and present will break your heart. I was unclear on which man would capture Charlie's empty heart...
Nothing short of fabulous.Like I said about the first book, Memoirs Aren't Fairytales, this book is so well written it's hard to believe it isn't true.

Over the last few days, I’d single-handedly knocked out several tables’ worth—outplayed, outsmarted, and just plain outlasted. Now, it was down to the final two, and Baylor was sitting across from me, the motherfucker who had bought his way here, the same one Roman had schooled me on before I’d l...
He’d cooked me exactly what I’d asked for: macaroni with an extra big squirt of ketchup, a big tablespoon of butter and just a little pepper. Mommy wouldn’t cook that for me. She said putting ketchup on pasta was gross. How did she know if she wouldn’t even try it? Mommy w...
DEREK “FRANKIE,” I SAID, opening the door wide enough to let her in. But she didn’t move, and her expression worried me. “Are you okay?” “I should have called. I’m sorry.” She wouldn’t look me in the eye. “I…I’m not even sure why I’m here.” The wo...
Stiff was the second. Not just in my legs and arms, but in my jaw. It was like I had been chewing gum for weeks straight. Even my tongue hurt and the roof of my mouth. I didn’t know where all this aching had come from. It couldn’t have been from just sleeping on the floor. I’d been sleeping on it...
