cool 1st/3rd person alternating chapters, lovable MC, tension (0 more)

With this book, I felt like I gained an insight into Lewis and the human experience. There isn't just one mystery to be solved, or one lie being told. May's characters are deep and full of surprises. Fin, the MC, must return to the land that was once home, but is also a source of distress, to solve the murder of a former classmate. I'm only 22, so my youth isn't haunting me yet, but Fin is still relatable and has my heart.

Erika (17788 KP) rated Dopesick : Dealers, Doctors, and the Drug Company that Addicted America in Books

This book was a heavy read, and I was upset after I finished it for a few days. While the 'opioid epidemic' may seem strange outside of the US, and even where I live, because it's not as bad as the region that this book covered.
This journalist interviewed people that were involved in all aspects of OUD (opioid use disorder), from the people that have OUD, their families, and numerous doctors and counselors. It's a very comprehensive look at the whole situation. It was very haunting, and tragic.

Oh yeah! Serial killers and the paranormal OH MY!!

No spoilers. Book is one of his best. A 2 day read. Had to put it down only because I was completely unaware of my family's needs. Someone has to cook. Anyways... What I loved the most is finding small pieces of myself in each character. Whether good, bad, or ugly. We all can relate. The story itself is a page turner. Descriptive, twisty, haunting, and thought provoking. We are all The Outsider in our own way. READ IT.
