My Rating - 5 Stars!
Wow. Roberta Blablanski's Addiction is a remarkable story that tells of the horrific spiral downwards that addiction can cause.
Owen and Dex were together, engaged to be married. But when Owen became addicted to opiods, everything changed for the couple.
Through the use of frequent flashbacks, we learn of their past happiness, as well as the depth of their love. We also learn of Owen's spiral into addiction.
Their story includes drug addiction, a scary attack, and recovery. It's a quick story, so nothing is explored in great detail. But it's definitely a powerful tale that illustrates the innocent way that opiod addiction can begin. Basically, it's so damn realistic that it's terrifying.
More than anything though, this is a "light" addiction story. As it's a short story, it highlights the lows, and glosses over the recovery.
I love Addiction. I definitely suggest this bittersweet Roberta Blablanski tale to everyone.
