About this listen
Leaving behind a nightmarish college experience, 19-year-old Nicole and her best friend Eric escape their home of Bangor, Maine to start a new life in Boston. Fragile and scared, Nicole desperately seeks a new beginning to help erase her past. But there is something besides freedom waiting for her in the shadows - a drug that will make every day a nightmare.
Heroin.
With one taste, the love that once flowed through Nicole's veins turns into cravings. Tracks mark the passing of time, and heroin's grip gets tighter. It holds her hand through deaths and prostitution, but her addiction keeps her in the darkness. When her family tries to strike a match to help light her way, Nicole must choose between a life she can hardly remember, and a love for heroin she'll never forget.

Pretty good
I really enjoyed this book, however there was nothing out of the ordinary about it. Typical story of a heroin user who goes down a dark path and questions herself.

Awesome! But…
I bought thinking it was a true story. It’s not. Very life like, though. I listened to it in a day, it was that good. I kept wanting to know what happened next. Worth the listen.

Amazing!
I love memoirs based on addiction and this one did not disappoint. I listened to the entire thing over 2 days. I could not stop. Being in recovery myself, I related to the author in so many ways. This is definitely in my top 5 memoirs. Will listen to it again!!!

Honest and compelling
I couldn’t stop listening. I wanted to save this young woman from herself the entire time. Gives a perspective from the person with the addiction that is seldom heard. Allows you to walk a mile in someone’s shoes so to speak. Using heroin is a very bad idea to say the least !

Well written. Quite a story
Highly recommend. It’s crazy what addiction will let us loose before finally receiving help. This is fantastic book
