"Great book.” —Rosie O'Donnell

"I could feel my chin falling toward my chest, my back hunching forward. My body was acting on its own, and my mind was empty, like all my memories had been erased. There was scenery behind my lids. Aqua-colored water and powdery sand that extended for miles. I was never going back to coke. I wanted more heroin. And I wanted it now."

Leaving behind a nightmarish college experience, Nicole and her friend, Eric, escape their home of Bangor, Maine to start a new life in Boston. Fragile and scared, Nicole desperately seeks a new beginning to help erase her past. But there is something besides freedom waiting for her in the shadows—a drug that will make every day a nightmare.

Heroin.

With one taste, the love that once flowed through Nicole's veins turns into cravings. Tracks mark the passing of time, and heroin's grip gets tighter. It holds her hand through deaths and prostitution, but her addiction keeps her in the darkness. When her family tries to strike a match to help light her way, Nicole must choose between a life she can hardly remember, or a love for heroin she'll never forget.

Wow just wow, can I just say that over and over again and have it be my review. I am realy at a loss of words on how to review this book. It was such an intense, emotional read and the beauty of it is that it could be so real. I was completley engrossed into this story from start to finish and I could not bring myself to put it down. My favourite thing about this book is the author does not hold back or sugarcoat anything and because of this the story feels so damn real. 5 Stars really isn't enough for this book!

Definitely not a Fairytale!!!

I Don't think I will forget this book in a long time, such powerful emotions throughout.
I thought I knew a lot about Drug Addiction.... I didn't.
This story really opens your eyes to the horrors associated with addiction.
I felt for Nicole. I was terrified for her. These Drugs had total control over every aspect of her life. Whether she realised it or not.
It was a hard book to read at times but I found I couldn't put it down. It was so well written and I would recommend it to others, I've already downloaded book two.

I brought this book believing it was an autobiography. I'm actually glad I read it thinking this as it made the book more shocking. The authors knowledge of life as an addict is totally believable, hence why I thought it an autobiography. She has clearly done her research!!
Brilliant, gritty story which totally sucks the reader in. I was addicted. The main character was well established and because of the way it's written the reader almost feels as if they know her.
The reader feels so many emotions reading the book. At times I felt like I was on a rollercoaster! I'm so excited knowing there is a second part in the pipeline. Definitely recommend this book

A really thought-provoking novel which delves into the murky world of drug addiction, and highlights the point that it can happen to anyone. The author has really done her research. The second book is also a must, with a fantastic twist at the end. I highly recommend both books.

Not good.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 January 2021

So disappointed with this book. Couldn’t empathise with Nicole at all. In fact, I didn’t like her one bit. Too ridiculous and not enough time spent on her recovery after she got shot. Won’t be purchasing the sequel.

A very good story - anyone who has experienced anyone in this situation will be able to relate, anyone interested will feel grateful for their lives. A story that effects you. I still remember this now having read it nearly two years ago.
