Taboo Topic Insight

Everyone Should Read This Book

Girl Walks Out of a Bar is an amazing book that I recommend to everyone. The raw emotion and insight to a taboo topic are absolutely stunning. I found it impossible to put the book down. As I read Lisa Smith's story I was captivated by her addiction. I felt sadness and sorrow with every negative event and joy with each success. I couldn't help but cheer her on through her road to sobriety.

For someone who has not dealt firsthand with such an addiction, this book was a real eye-opener. It is not often we have the opportunity to peek into the head of an addict and understand what day to day life is like for them. Girl Walk Out of a Bar really helped me gain a better understanding of life for an addict and in return open my eyes to others situations.

I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to read this book and recommend it to every adult who would like to better understand those around us.

fab read

This is the seventh book in this series by this author. This book starts right after 'Until Harmony" finishes. This is a low angst, extremely hot and entertaining love story. Amazing well written characters with very intense chemistry between them. This is a fantastic addiction to this series. You will be hooked from the first page and left wanting more from this author. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.

Highly recommended read

Lenard (726 KP) rated Beautiful Boy (2018) in Movies

May 8, 2019

Beautiful Boy is a heartbreaking look at addiction. The son is a drug addict. He can be sweet and loving, but his life is chaotic and a burden to his family. Timothee Chalamet plays the son realistically and reveals all the layers within, trying to stay sober when all your nerves are telling you to fall. The father is also an addict. He is addicted to helping his son no matter the cost. Luckily he is a very rich man, both as a sucessful writer and with a supportive wife.

CBorden (67 KP) rated The Hunter’s Prayer (2017) in Movies

Feb 6, 2018

Sam Worthington pushes himself as an assassin hired to kill a teenage girl as he struggles to face his own demons - addiction, his past as a soldier, and his lack of relationship with his own teenage daughter. The movie is action from start to finish with not a lot of great suspense or unexpected plot twists. However, for an action flick, its rather mild presentation (minimal swearing, not overly graphic, no unnecessary sexual content) plus the realistic potrayal of the emotions the hunter and the hunted must work through, this is an enjoyable movie!
