candy by luke davies

I enjoyed it, it is sort of like Trainspotting (the book) in that, even though it sounds bizarre, it makes heroin addiction funny, and touching and moving...it's very well written, I LOVE their relationship.

I definately wouldn't write it off as just another junkie story. Reading it was almost a trauma in itself, the way different emotions are conveyed - one minute I was chuckling to myself (on public transport how cool am i) and the next, wanting to cry for them.

I would definately recommend it
