This book was really intriguing, mainly because you know it is true. That also makes it awful and horrific. There are some serious lessons encased in this book. A lesson on listening to your gut, your friends, and your family...because they can see things that you may very well be blind to. Remember, they will look out for you. Also, a lesson in how something can spiral out of control before you are aware it is a real problem. Lessons in creating change, recovery, speaking up for yourself. Lessons in survival. Also some very eye opening glimpses of politics.

I felt my anger rise repeatedly in this book from so much non-chalance for someone else's well-being. I was also surprised by what seemed so obvious to me, an outsider, is not always obvious to someone going through it. Maybe that is also a lesson to speak up to your friends when you think something is amiss?
