onestepcloser-lgeThe main thing this book has going for it is Polly, a great character who is rebuilding her life. It is fun following Polly on her journey, you really want her to succeed and are willing her on along the way. You will laugh and smile as she makes a new life from the rubble of addiction. Polly has a son and her bond with her child is evident, she also deeply loves her brother Hugh. There is also a love interest on the horizon, will it work out? This is a love story, a rebirth story and a moving exploration of addiction and becoming a better person. It is honest about addiction and the impact it has on an entire family. Beautiful, honest and thought-provoking. Definitely worth a read.
