Helpful Score: 4
Having watched a ton of Intervention on A&E, plus having a family member with an addiction problem, I actually didn't enjoy this book. Drawing from my own experience and from what I've seen, I didn't think the dialogue or situations were realistic at all. In fact, they were downright contrived.
I found the main character (the mother) to be insufferable. The mother's elderly parents, including her mother who suffers from Alzheimer's, seemed to be thrown in as an afterthought with perhaps an aim to give them a bigger subplot, but it just didn't work and they ended up being unnecessary and extraneous.
The ending was both predictable and a little abrupt, without a lot of closure.
The whole book just sort of made me mad; I wanted to slap the mother. Didn't do it for me.
