Reviews:
Powerful writing. Quiet, soft-spoken but speaks straight into readers’ hearts. A place of vulnerability.

I love it, I really do…”would no longer cut up their drugs on my face”. That is so striking, really good.

How much of this is based on truth? It takes guts for a person to admit they were a bully and in the wrong, so kudos for that.

Your writing is compelling, your premise the same. I wish you success.
