High On Arrival: A Memoir
reviewed on + 6 more book reviews
Helpful Score: 2


I didn't watch, "One Day at a Time" or have heard a single note of any Mamas & Papas. I only heard of their names and could attach Mackenzie Phillips and John Phillips to their occupation. I didn't experience drugs or quite the way she was raised. Nor do I care for celebrity memoirs much. But this one is different. If you couldn't relate to Mackenzie Phillips in her memoir, her story moved in a nice flowing way. I found myself having a hard time putting the book down and picked it up every chance I got. Fascinating stuff, raw, and painfully real. I wanted to know what happens next. Good book. I especially appreciated the paperback version where there is a postscript added to the end of the book.
