I wish I wasn't the first to write the negative review but I have to. Spoilers by the way. My main complaint was it wasn't realistic. I grew up in a dysfunctional family where my father was addicted to drugs. For one they don't want people to know what they are like so it would not be realistic for them to berate their child in public like that. It would happen at home instead. Also, the captain of the football team wouldn't be dating the poor girl. When you were in high school did that ever happen. NO! My next complaint was when someone is truly addicted to something they don't get over their addiction in a day. That was the part I disliked the most. The mother never once apologized for her behavior. The whole entire book the mother says the most hateful things and then because someone finally stands up to her she sees the error in her ways .Really???I am not saying someone can't get better but unless there  is some drastic actions taken it takes a long time to recover and to see changes. Example the mother starts AA meetings and in a week there is food in the cabinets and the mother has stopped cold turkey. Not realistic. I wish I wasn't leaving such a low rating but I wish I would have read one like this so I wouldn't t have read the book.
