Welcome to Litsy!

I was recently asked about the opioid crisis on a medical school interview. I answered from my perspective in healthcare and outside knowledge of the matter. I feel like this book gave me an insider‘s insight and I'm thankful for it.
I had a hard time getting into it at first, spent 6 days reading until 45 % and 1 day reading the rest. This book is beyond addiction, it is about parenting, siblings, friendship, bullying, unconditional love, and +.

An inspiring story of how a chance encounter can forever change the course of someone‘s life. I am excited to talk about this one at book club next week!

Unputdownable and eye-opening story of how opioid addiction of a teen boy affects a family of 5, from the POV of his younger sister. It‘s heartbreaking holding onto hope when that‘s all you CAN do. Complex dynamics, loss, grief, and adolescence.

Sometimes the hardest battles are the ones we fight within ourselves.

You could use the book as a starting point for conversations about grief. Encourage students to share their thoughts or experiences (if comfortable) and discuss healthy ways to cope with loss. This can help normalize the topic and promote emotional literacy.

“You'd Be Home Now“ is a heartfelt and poignant novel that delves into the complexities of family dynamics, loss, and the struggle for identity. The story follows a teenager grappling with the aftermath of a loved one‘s death and the impact it has on her relationships and sense of self.

Good book not for kids, but shows how drugs effect everyone
