Praise for Fix: 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. --Alaina Lavoie, Communications Manager, We Need Diverse Books The insidiousness of substance dependency, grief, and pain weave together in this incredibly powerful, all-consuming, captivating novel. --The Tiny Activist
