It's not often that you read a book that just feels so important and relevant to current society. This follows the Opioid epidemic from the time that OxyContin was being aggressively hyped to doctors treating overworked mineworkers in Appalachia to the current time as Heroin is being used across class lines. This is a frightening book and anger-inducing book but I think it is so important for as many people as possible to understand how this happens. My only quibble is with the structure, which jumps around quite a bit, introducing her interviewees over and over again, but that in no way detracts from the necessity of this book. I received a digital ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
