Reviews

* "Arcos paints a complex, honest, devastating portrait of what it means to watch someone you love turn into a stranger. The result is an empathetic, highly readable tale that captures the messy dynamics of sibling relationships, the pain and powerlessness of addiction from a loved one's perspective, and, in an ending that brilliantly mingles loss and hope, the necessity of letting go."
