Saving Bobby

What a great read!! I couldn’t put it down. I found myself cheering for Bobby instantly. The author does a great job of making the reader feel a part of the story - at times, my stomach churned with nerves while other sections had me rooting for Bobby as if he was a close friend. What a great read!

No matter how hard one tries to help a addict, it is almost an impossible task until the addict figures out as way to help himself. The author thought she would be able to help her nephew overcome his addition to heroin and god knows w hat else, but it proved to be a trial like no other. Eventually her nephew figured a way to live a better life, but not before his aunt and uncle were stressed to the max. I admire the author for the task she undertook - I don't believe it is one I could do.

I received this book for an honest review by Net Galley. I cried reading this book but as hard as it was to read, it was full of hope. . It is a book that makes you think. The opioid crisis is real and addiction is real. I am a nurse who has seen narcotics given out like candy, but in the past couple of years, I have also seen a decrease in doctors prescribing them. Maybe it's due to the new laws, but something had to give. Bobby is an inspiration to everyone whose been an addict or have been affected by it. A supportive family is a gift, but not everyone can deal with the problems that come with addiction. Bobby's family was a gift but so was he. . I would recommend this book to anyone dealing with this problem or others There is help out there.
