When I finished the book I did end up giving it three stars. I did find that it was confusing at times with the timeline jumping and just the amount of people and there were certain points where I found her word usage, sentence structure a bit confusing, a bit odd, but at the same time I really liked getting the human interest stories, the people who've really been affected by Oxycontin, the Sackler family, Purdue Pharma, and so it did- it has stuck with me.

Liked

As a side note for another recommendation for reading, if you really want the nitty-gritty on the Sackler family and Purdue Pharma I would recommend reading Empire of Pain by Patrick Radden Keefe and if you are looking for the overarching story and really being able to get an in-depth look at a lot of different things, I would recommend the show.
