Nic battles his intense relapse all throughout the book. He had times at his ultimate low hurting everyone he loved and addicted out of his mind as well as times of subtle improvements. It wasn't until the end of the book when I saw a true dramatic change in Nic's life. He was finally in the right recovery program for him. He loved the people there because they supported were him and could relate because many were in the same boat as him. At the end, his parents and family come for the weekend. At first, his dad says he loves his son but he doesn't know if he could ever change. It wasn't until they did drawings as a family to express themselves that his dad saw the his son had made a change. Nic's drawing repeatedly had written all over it how sorry he was. They hugged and a ton of mixed emotions filled Nic's head. His dad apologizes too and truly believes in his son again. Nic feels like he can finally live and be an independent person. He was making a very solid start and was definitely comitted to recovery this time around. The book closes with him feeling normally, laughing, and living.
This book was a rollercoaster to read. It started out really slow and all about him doing drugs. Finally, he went through ups and downs. I felt attached to his character and wanted to help him. The ending warmed my heart. I felt so proud of Nic and happy that his family had given him forgiveness and everyone loved each other once again.
