Emily Carter

I hated it. I loved it. I wanted to throw it across the room. It made me cry unexpectedly, usually on the subway, which just increased my love/hate relationship with it. In the end I was glad I read it and would recommend it to others, but just be warned that you may have the same kind of reaction and don't give up!

Raw, real writing that will make you think, smile, and cry.

Glory heads to Minneapolis to get treatment for addiction. She explores friends, relapse, dating with HIV, HIV treatment, poverty, and un/employment in the short stories of this book. Some are hard to follow and the characters are not very well developed. Is good insight into the world of drugs, alcohol, and HIV.
