So I read a lot of books about people and their problems with drug use. Or at least those types of books tend to find their way into my hands. I'm not sure how. I'm a fantasy adventure sort of girl but I can't resist a good hard-slap-in-the-face realistic fiction book.
This paticular book, Tweak...was painful. In a good way. The character, Nic, was real (which is good considering it was based off the authors life), his see-sawing through his addiction was incredibly frustrating and many a times I found myself shutting the book in exasperation. Yet, I always opened it back up because I NEEDED to know how it ended.
If you like the Ellen Hopkins books and Go Ask Alice then you'll like this AND will get the other genders prospective.
The book was easy to read and casual but not in a trying to be hip way, it read as if someone was TELLING you the story. It was a good choice, in my opnion.

"Isn't that the greatest gift in the world-just not to care?"
"As long as you look for someone else to validate who you are by seeking their approval, you are setting yourself up for disaster. You have to be whole and complete in yourself. No one can give you that. You have to know who you are - what others say is irrelevant."
