Why read it?
1 author picked Junk as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book is a very human story of teenage vulnerability and social instability.
Tense and gritty, this book doesn’t disappoint. Honest in its portrayal of drug misuse and abuse it perhaps isn’t for the faint-hearted. Ideal for those who seek to understand the underbelly of society. Written in a no-nonsense style, this is a novel that naturally flows.
Hard to put down, I read this book in a day. Well written, this is a story where you quickly immerse yourself in the characters who are so unnervingly real.
From S.J.'s list on stories of human adventures written in a captivating style.
