Reviews for The Semi-Sober House

“The Semi-Sober House is a beautifully written, often hilarious story of a young woman’s journey of addiction as she clashes with the hypocrisy surrounding treatment with medical marijuana in a ‘semi-sober’ house in California. Unflinchingly honest, funny, and at times terrifying, this memoir brings to life one of the most greatly debated topics of our time, addiction, and the issues surrounding its treatment and medical marijuana.”

"Great read!! The story of a woman struggling with heroin addiction who is living in a Semi-Sober House and taking prescribed medical marijuana as she searches to carve out a life of her own. Funny, poignant, scary with unexpected twists and turns...most importantly, gripping--couldn't put it down. So relevant given the legalization of marijuana and heroin epidemic."

"Good read. I originally purchased it on Kindle, but I enjoyed the story so much that I bought the paperback as well and read it a second time. Jade is an interesting character and to read about her trials and tribulations in California was funny, heartbreaking and scary all at the same time. I also found the information about the use of medical marijuana to be very informative."

"The Semi-Sober House is a cool and compelling story that addresses significant issues in our culture - including medical marijuana. Raw but beautifully written, Jade's journey is a real page turner - I couldn't put it down. It provides a unique insight into and indictment of the hypocrisy of certain facets of addiction treatment and rehabilitation."

__________

"A strong new voice is revealed!! Riveting, shocking, disturbing, and, alternatively, humorous and poignantly sensitive, the book is insightful about important issues cloaked in a satirical narrative. Among them are addiction, abuse, medical marijuana and the legalisation of cannibis, bullying, and harm reduction as a treatment method for rehab."

"Jade's saga is a must-read for anyone affected by addiction or interested in medical marijuana
This riveting tale seesaws between hilarious comedy and tragedy to highlight the struggles of addiction and those caught in its
snare. Her advocate of medical marijuana is timely. Rock on Jade!!"
