This read is a brilliant memoir, focusing on the turbulent life of a young man as is plans of a new life get quickly derailed.
It focuses on love, relationships, abuse, drugs and poverty in a very moving and captivating writing style. I am not usually a fan of memoirs but this drew me in from page one.

I enjoyed the story as a whole, but I struggled to relate to this book in any sense. I struggled with the way the struggles of fatherhood was portrayed and just didn't connect with the story.

I had high hopes for this book. Unfortunately, I found it to be choppy. I also was not attracted to the way in which he told his story of fatherhood and pain. It was hard to relate to this book.

An honest open raw look at the authors road to adulthood a young man full of rage a young man who becomes addicted and early fatherhood a very well written compelling read,#netgalley #u.of Nebraskapress.

Wish I could have like this more.

Thanks to author, publisher and Netgalley for the chance to read this book. While I got the book for free, it had no bearing on the rating I gave it.
