“Intense, unflinching…a gratifying story.”
–Kirkus Reviews“Fix by J. Albert Mann is a haunting, heartbreaking story about addiction, internalized ableism, friendship, and what we’re willing to do for the people we love. Written in a combination of achingly raw prose and verse, this book will make you lose yourself and then find yourself again in the process. Mann crafts a lacerating picture of grief, addiction, and friendship that will stay with you long after you close the lid.”
