challenging emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad tense slow-paced

5.0

To say that I cried is an understatement. This book hits close to home and I’m glad I read it. Honestly I think I should’ve read it sooner. It’s a heartbreaking story that sadly so many people can relate to. Hearing how David took on all that emotion and how he put it as his responsibility to get his son sober, I understood and then seeing him let go more idk how to explain how that felt but I just understand this book and yeah. I think no matter what your background is this is a book everyone should read. But beware cause it’s an emotional roller coaster
