Not going to lie, this book was a tough one for me to get through. It was well written, and exceptionally done, but the topic was hard for me. My mom was an alcoholic, so while it isn’t necessarily triggering for me to read books about alcoholism, it is a little tough as was the case here. I think that the author did a good job portraying what it is like for someone with alcoholism. It’s a tough disease as is any addiction, and Emma did so good navigating life. She was such a real character; she felt like she was my friend and I knew her personally. This takes exceptional writing to pull off, and the author did. The writing really moved me and I loved it so much.

This is a really well-done debut that you won’t want to miss.
