Enjoyable
A good story. Abuse and drug addiction are very difficult things to recover from. This book showed that it is possible. There is life after addiction.

This is not a perfect book: sometimes the dialog seems stilted and there's a few typos in the text, but the characters and storytelling is so compelling, I barely noticed. Ryan has a lot of faults and makes some bad decisions throughout his story, but the background of how he became and addict is heartbreaking and his struggle to really make it this time were very believable to me.

This book changed me and my thinking.
I loved this book. I confess, I was one of those people who thought of drug addicts as scrimmage. After reading this novel by J.R. Tate, I have been given a clearer insight into the demons in their souls. This book changed me and my thinking. You can't say that about every book that you read.
