Whatever you call it, it’s the same thing. Addictive.

Review
Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆
Whilst I love Margaret McHeyzer's book, I entered this one with slight trepidation. She never shies away from difficult issues and this was no exception. 'Addiction' is not an easy read. It is raw, gritty, emotive and powerful. It is difficult, frustrating and most of the time leaves a bad taste in your mouth but it is one that once begun, has to be finished.
'Addiction' is a powerful and insightful look into the hold that drug addiction has over people who use. How it very quickly spirals from recreational use to full on addiction and the consequences of this. For my, I never really understood the impact that addiction has on people who use and this gave me an insight that forced me to face and rethink the constructs I hold about addicts. Drug use does some horrendous things to a person on a physical, mental and emotional level. Hannah's story is a powerful one: one where she has to reach rock bottom before she can rebuild her life. One where, as the reader, you will want to shake her, throw your kindle across the room, weep for her and her family and will her to get the help she needs.
This was an incredible read from an incredibly talented author - everyone who has judged addicts without a proper understanding needs to read this as does every young person out there. It has a powerful message that all need to understand.

Author Bio
NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER OF UGLY AND MISTRUST
**Write something worth reading**
**Write something worth reading**
I'm Margaret and I'm a self-published author.
Recently I was fortunate in obtaining New York Times best selling status on my YA/NA book - Ugly, and my YA book - Mistrust.
My last three books have been YA and I'm completely in love with the genre. I love being able to communicate with people through my words and stories.
My writing genres all differ, but the one thing I keep consistent is my heroines. All my female lead characters are strong, gutsy and not the 'perfect' woman. While my books all have romantic elements in them, they aren't just about the romance. They're about finding strength, acceptance and making life long connections.
I hope you enjoy my stories as much as I have while writing them.
