6 posts | 6 read | 1 reading | 4 to read
Reminiscent of the beloved novels by Mary Kubica and Jodi Picoult comes a chilling portrayal of a sons addiction and its harrowing effects on both him and his mother from New York Times bestselling author Courtney Cole. There comes a time when offering your life for your childs doesnt work, when you realize that itll never be enough. The cold needle in his warm vein was a welcome comfort to my son at first. But then it became the monster that kept us apart. Heroin lied, and my son believed. It took him to a world where the last year didnt happen, to a place where his father was still alive. What Beck didnt understand was that it couldnt bring his father back from the dead. It couldnt take away his pain, not permanently. You think it cant happen to you, that your kids, your family, will never be in this situation. I thought that too. But youre wrong. Step into our world, and see for yourself. Watch my golden boy become a slave to this raging epidemic. Watch me try and save him. Drug addiction comes with a price. Trust me, youre not equipped to pay it. Dont miss this heartwrenching, evocative, yet hopeful novelit will leave you forever changed.

As much as I wanted to be annoyed by some of the choices these characters made, it was impossible to say they were in the wrong as the details of their situation continued to unfold. The depictions of grief were heartbreaking and painfully realistic. I especially liked the changing POVs between the mother and son characters.

A mom stands by her son hospital‘s bed after he overdoses. Alternating chapters from the mom and son‘s POV. Very emotional. Powerful story. Hard to put down. 4⭐️ book 44

The author did a good job making me want to turn the page. I like how she presented the perspectives of both the mother and the son throughout the story. Given the subject matter, I had expected it to be a bit more emotionally provocative. It wasn‘t as powerful as it could have been but, as I neared the ending, I did finally get a bit teary eyed. I liked the conclusion and was glad to see a small, unpredictable piece as the story came to a close.
