Ratings and reviews

Firstly and strangely, the first part of the title of the book is quite deceiving. Im three quarters of the way through reading the book and I still haven't learnt anything about how the Great American opioid epidemic of the 21st century began as stated, otherwise A very enjoyable and easy to read ebook giving you a look, firstly into the authors very interesting and challenging life with the first love and wife of his life. It is written as a very easy to read personal memoir or diary type ebook with seriously unlucky and disasterous relationship tales of quite a few of his subsequent relationships, the experiences they have together and the lessons the author has learnt along the way. I liked the way it was quite varied in content and it was very easy and enjoyable to read.

Funny. At times self-depricating. Honest. Real. Read anything Oliver has written and tell me I am wrong. (Secretly love him!) He can tell a story and get you hooked without noticing until you can't imagine not sticking around until the end!

It's a good enough story. Just a lot of misspelled words, and parts of the story that seemed to never end that didn't serve a purpose. Other than that it is interesting enough that I bought the second book.
