I finished this book in record time, couldn't stop listening (audio book). But I feel like I missed something. At one point, Tiffany was speaking to someone, I want to say her therapist, and they said "tomorrow your parole officer wants to see you" and it had something to do with her ex-boyfriend's family. Did she explain what that was about? Did my audio book skip that?

Kat WahBam She never expanded on it. Which makes me wonder why she even added it. This will annoy me forever lol

How was the cop boyfriend that stupid? How could he not know his girlfriend was constantly shooting up in their own home? I found this pretty unbelievable, even after considering that many people only see what they choose to see and tend to ignore the evidence in front of them.

I also asked how stupid he would be in addition to how embarrassing the COs were about him - the whole "how dare you do that to him!" type behaviors. Either the boyfriend was the most naïve man on the planet, or Tiffany was high when she wrote this book. (less)

What did you all think about this book? Would you recommend it?

Brianna Glover I would. I follow Tiffany on several social media platforms and chose to do the audiobook because it's read by her. I do NOT recommend this book if yo…moreI would. I follow Tiffany on several social media platforms and chose to do the audiobook because it's read by her. I do NOT recommend this book if you don't have a basic understanding of opiate addiction. Many of the comments and reviews are extremely judgmental and are obvious they are uneducated on the science behind opiate addiction. Tiffany is a sweet, caring, goofy and silly person who took a wrong turn and decided to fight and change her life. I found the book to be inspiring and maybe it's because I already followed her for a few years before reading her book, but truly enjoyed listening to her narrate her own story.

Take reviews and comments on Good Reads with a grain of salt. Most are extremely over critical and pick apart even the best of books. With any book - if it interests you I'd read it - don't base decisions based on Good reads reviews because most are overly critical.

Is Eliot Right the ex bf real name?

Brianna Glover Probably not. It says at the very beginning of the book that character names, etc were changed to protect them.

I am finding the timeline describing when her mother died and when she went in rehab, very confusing. It sounds like she was in rehab when her mom died, but was also with her mom. But then it says she was in rehab after her mom died. What?

Poorly written and most of it, quite frankly is unbelievable. Zero protagonists in this story. Why would anyone care about her? She is trash (less)
