This was a binge listen for me. Once I started listening, I couldn’t stop. Of course that’s due to great writing and amazing narration. Excuse me, ‘performance.’ Because Mr. Vargo really is a performance artist. An actor par excellence. Even the women are outstanding. But this story by the amazing Rick R. Reed – WOW! So much more than a formulaic romance novel. This story tackles a deeply serious subject with insight, sensitivity, empathy, humor, and pathos. There is never a dull moment. The cast of characters are clearly drawn by Mr. Reed – each with their own unique psyche. And Mr, Vargo honors that writing by giving each character their own distinct voice. There aren’t very many stories out there for people in recovery ABOUT people in recovery. That is one of the major captivating attractions of this particular story. I say give us more of this!
