⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 Essay-based memoir of a woman who struggled with heroin addiction but has been clean for 20 years and her experiences as a mother and navigating issues from her past in her current life. She was a student of David Sedaris before he was famous and they have remained friends. That part of her story is obviously interesting for his fans, but I found myself comparing her writing to his, which just doesn‘t do almost any writer any favors.
