My college son and his girlfriend are asking for the sequel. Since they both read it I got interested in what it was all about. I picked it up from my son's book shelf and started reading. I didn't put it down, as it only takes about 2 hrs to read. It was very interesting, but also extremely depressing. Who wants to see a good girl totally destroy herself. I personally think the author gives the addict too much pity, but she had to watch her daughter's similar life. The main character/addict, did after all, make the first choices to hang with scum and then use!
