Description
This debut novel from underground superstar Laurie Weeks is a raw and unflinching portrayal of addiction and love. Written in the brash, fervent voice of its young narrator, the story zig-zags between glimpses of her childhood and early teens to the gritty world of 1990s New York.
The book's pulse is evident on every page, as it captures the soaring highs and gritty lows of a junkie's life. With pitch-black humour, undead obsession, and the horror of everyday life, this novel is a brilliant exploration of the human condition.
