Stars: 3
Review by: iambetsyw
Allison Weiss seems to have it all: a successful career as a blogger, a nice husband, a beautiful house in the 'burbs of Philly,a daughter. What most people (including Allison) don't realize is that she is slowly becoming addicted to prescription painkillers. It starts as a way to cope with her complicated life; a challenging child, a father who is in the early stages of dementia, a husband who is also overwhelmed by life. Allie winds up in rehab and is resistant to facing the fact that she is in the grip of addiction. Her road to recovery is not easy, but the conclusion of the story paints a picture of her constant struggle to deal with her desire to remain sober. Not as light a read as the author usually writes.
