What this book is about
Nic Sheff's memoir about his addiction to methamphetamine is brutally honest — covering years of use, multiple treatments, relapses, and the family destruction that accompanied all of it. Tweak was published alongside his father David Sheff's account of the same period (Beautiful Boy). One of the most unflinching addiction memoirs written.
