this book was an enjoyable and illuminating exploration of drugs, love, and depression. cristy road does an excellent job guiding the reader through a tumultuous period where one knows what they should be doing, but continues not doing it. i found honesty and meaning pouring from the pages. the illustrations are also well done and give nice visual accents to a well written book. i recommend this book to anyone who has met depression and who keeps going back to their bad habits, while knowing all along the key to inner growth and happiness lyes elsewhere.

This is a bold and energetic undertaking. I was thrown head first into an unfamiliar world. A trip worth taking.

While the artwork is spectacular, the plot of this book is just down right BAD. The main character is self-obsessed and surprisingly adolescent even through her 20's. As a reader, you never discover just exactly why she is so tortured. On top of that, she is unlikable making it difficult to care what happens to her. It is the same old, same old typical over used for 25 plus years punk-rock "cool kids feel MORE, hate MORE and love MORE than squares" story. boo hoo. You just want to slap her and tell her to get over herself. Road should stick with her beautiful artwork and leave the written word alone until she matures.
