From #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Weiner, her "best book yet" (ThePhiladelphia Inquirer) about a woman confronting her dependence on pills. Allison Weiss got her happy ending--a handsome husband, an adorable daughter, a job she loves, and the big house in the suburbs. But while waiting in the pediatrician's office, she opens a magazine to a quiz about addiction. She begins to wonder if a Percocet at the end of the day really different from a glass of wine. Is it such a bad thing to pop a Vicodin after a brutal exercise class...or if your husband ignores you? She tells herself that the pills help her make it through her days but what if her increasing drug use, a habit that's becoming expensive and hard to hide, is turning into her biggest problem of all?
This was a good book.. easy to read so I finished it in a few nights. I found myself very into the main character... I literally shook my head in disgust at her a couple times... The story does not glamorize the issues which I very much appreciated, and as I could relate to some of the story, I thought it was very realistic. This could be beneficial to those teetering on the line of substance abuse vs recreational use, but even if not, it was a good story, though predictable.
