Welcome to Litsy!

I was curious about Hunter since he seems to be in the news a lot. His memoir talks about his many life heartaches, his alcoholism, drug addiction and his many, many bad choices. I‘m hoping he can continue his path of sobriety and I‘m cheering for him. I liked that he read his audiobook.

I started this book not knowing what to expect, but in the end I ended up liking the book. This book is about one mans journey through addiction and the tragedy of loosing his only brother. I highly recommend this book. 4 ⭐ out of 5 ⭐

This book is totally different, but I‘m enjoying it. #audiobook

I listened to this on audio and it is a searingly honest account of his descent into alcoholism and drug addiction. He doesn‘t pull any punches and doesn‘t seem to blame anyone but himself.

I have to say I don‘t know much about US politics but one things that comes out of this book is what a lovely, thoroughly decent man Joe Biden appears to be.

Not so sure about Hunter though with the most recent revelations…. 🤷‍♀️

Tragic. The book itself was well written and vulnerable. I love that the president‘s son can speak so openly and (it seems) truthfully about his struggles with addiction, his marriage, and the all-encompassing grief following his brother Beau‘s death.
However, among the recent news of his previous actions I just cringe a little. I mean, just please do better.

so raw & emotional!

I honestly couldn‘t put this book down. Insane. Disregard my last review

What a brave book to write. I wish Hunter the best and pray for his continued sobriety. No matter what you think of Joe Biden politically, this book will show you the man, and how much he loves is family. So glad I read it.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Whether you like the Bidens or not, there‘s no denying the immense heartache and loss they‘ve endured. The President‘s youngest son lays it bare. Having battled alcoholism and addiction off and on for years, he fell into a reckless spiral of hard drugs and debauchery following his brother‘s death and the disintegration of his 20+ year marriage. Dude is lucky as hell to be alive. This def does not feel sugarcoated, but raw and honest.

This was such a difficult read as I lost a bright friend to crack for several years. Heavy TW for drug abuse/alcoholism.

Hunter talks about the unique bond he and Beau had following the car accident where their mom and sister died. They were best friends and talked 3 times a day until Beau‘s death. Meanwhile, Hunter‘s 22 year marriage was failing after years of intermittent alcoholism. Then he talks about his decent into the underbelly. ⬇️
