Review
I have to be honest. I had a hard time reading this book because it really was written to show, not tell. It was too detailed and my heart just kept getting broken because of the gravity of the author's life experiences. I hope this is not a trend in pre-med students. I know that in every endeavor, there's always an overwhelming pressure and other factors that hinder us from getting what we truly desire to achieve and there will always be situations, people, or inner demons that will block our road to the right path, but hopefully, people will believe there is always hope, and that recovery is possible no matter how hard and long it takes to get there. Overall, I'm giving this book 4 out of 5 stars. It was well written, well researched, very informative, and eye-opening. Warning: This book contains explicit language and sex, and very sensitive topics.
