What The Reviewers Say

Allison Stewart,
Washington Post
Grimly funny, mostly unvarnished and frequently proctological.
Hilary Rose,
The Times (UK)
Funny, fascinating, compelling.
Barbara Allen,
The Guardian (UK)
Admirably honest, sometimes cringe-inducing memoir.
Sarah Carson,
iNews (UK)
Reading it is exactly as grim and as exhausting as all that sounds. For a book about a life getting high, this is a collection only of lows.
