You definitely caught my attention with your review, thank you. You make the story sound very compelling. And you stated the heroine of the story "made some really bad choices" but I wonder, does the book ever delve into how she, not necessarily started using, but what compelled HER to get dragged down into addiction? In any event, I loved how you said

insurmountable obstacles that could drag a person with even the strongest willpower down.

That is life at its core. I agree college students would benefit from the insights you mentioned, but I think high schoolers would, as well. A vast majority of them think they're immortal, that they can conquer anything that comes their way, and/or life is a bed of roses; the brass ring there for the taking. Maybe a story such as this could wake them up a little to the realities of adulthood, you never know! But thanks for a really good review.

This sounds like an optimistic book with the protagonist, Aliesha, being determined to fight her drug addiction for the sake of her children. However, due to the triggers present in the book, I won’t be picking it up. Nonetheless, congrats on the BOTD!

[Chad Anthony]

Your recommendation for college students is spot on. This book seems like a valuable tool for raising awareness about the dangers of drug use among young adults. I'm definitely interested in reading it after this review!

Talking about drug addiction is so important in this day and age, and knowing that the author approaches this very sensitive theme with gentleness is so reassuring. This should be a book that everyone reads!

A lot of students in Campus are into drugs. I believe this book will help. Thanks for the detailed review!

[Kenneth Onyenwe]

This book will be a good read for anyone trying to recover from addition. I will read "Catch a Falling Star" by Keith Julius to know about Aleisha's addiction recovery journey.

This book is relevant in modern society. Drug addiction affects families financially, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. In this case, the readers can easily identify real-life situations they can relate to. Congratulations on the BOTD.

Caring for a drug addict is a near impossible task; it requires a specialist and even then is often futile. So family and friends not helping matters is a natural consequence; They are often particularly victimised. Just look at the myriad of issues you list: domestic violence, hate, childhood trauma, and so many more. But it's a good job Aleisha, given that she had children, was motivated sufficiently to have a go at rehab.

I think I would like to read the book because is not always easy to stop being a drug addict thanks.

[Catalina Isabel]

This seems like an eye-opening book about drug addicton and life struggles. Aleisha goes through a lot so I hope she can go through rehab and heal for her own sake and for those around her. Thanks for a great review and congrats to the author on BOTD!
