Weekend Pass explores the world of addiction and the impact it has on loved ones and anyone who cares about them. I enjoyed the realistic look into one family’s lives of addictions, secrets, loss, and infidelity. Weekend Pass was a fast and easy read. A must read novel for those who want to know what the tolls of addiction and it’s long term multigenerational side effects can have on any family.I would like to thank Lauren from iRead Book Tours, and the author for the copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
