Beautiful Boy
David Sheff • 2008
Devastation Rating
addiction memoir family methamphetamine
Our Take
Sheff watched his son Nic dissolve into methamphetamine addiction and documented his own unravelling as a parent who could not save his child. The terror is in the details — the missing money, the 3am phone calls, the relapse after every recovery. Love is not enough. This book proves it.
