Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing

I debated for some time whether i would rate this memoir at all as it almost seems wrong to rate Matty's raw and honest self reflection on his terrible struggle with addiction. This story itself gains 5 stars from me. However, i am dropping a star due to the at times repetitive and confusing formatting of this novel. This is more a critique to the editor I suppose. The interludes often had me unable to follow the timeline and i found that difficult to overcome leading me to take a little more time to get through this. Nonetheless a heartbreaking and powerful read.
