Problems by Jade Sharma

So.....I thought I had problems. But compared to Maya and her myriad issues, I really shouldn't complain anymore. Sheesh.

This book exposes a world of addiction and compulsion and strips out all the pretty, hopeful moments.  I would never recommend this to anyone who can't handle explicit content in any form because Sharma goes there.

However, I would recommend it to people who are comfortable with the ugliness of life and need to know they are not alone. There was something oddly repulsive, yet comforting in Maya's decision-making processes. I found myself saying, "Yep. That's exactly how it goes" multiple times throughout this book.  Sharma has perfectly captured our human messiness and that's what made me finish this short book.
