Glue

Dacia's Diary, Book 1

De: DW Plato

Narrado por: Danni Catanese

A brilliantly told tale of drug addiction, its cause, its consequence, and its cure.

Dacia thinks she's escaping a miserable life with her emotionally abusive husband only to get caught up in a world filled with meth and sex. Her out-of-control lifestyle leads her into more than one sexual encounter with a variety of men.

A friend with benefits turns into something more. A handsome sex addict’s fantasies take her to the brink of out-of-control passion. And Christopher, a man who is boy-next-door charming, cute, and good to her, will do anything to get Dacia to give him a chance.

The drugs coursing through her veins keep her closely tied to the men and women who will certainly be her demise. Being convinced she is in control of her drug addiction leads her into making a series of wrong choices that put her on a path she never expected. Without realizing it, she falls for the man she said she wouldn’t. Dacia’s life begins to unravel in ways she didn’t know it could when Christopher makes tough decisions of his own.

Fast-paced and edgy, Glue will take you on a roller-coaster ride and leave you craving more.

It's well worth reading

I was hooked after the first few pages. I couldn't stop reading. I finished it in a week.

Love, Drugs and Rock n Roll

Captivating story from the get go. This real-life tale of partying starts with innocence and morphs into addiction. Start it when you have time...cuz you won't be able to put Glue down.

Baskerville Book Reviews

This story is rough. I’ve never been one for drugs of any kind, or junkies, for that matter. The appeal of this story to me is seeing how one mistake can lead to a downward spiral. It doesn’t pull any punches and gives the down and dirty details on all of Dacia’s life. It was done well, it made me feel for a junkie whose problems were all her own causing.

the narrator is absolutely awful. She sounds like she’s in a hurry, never pausing naturally while doing dialogue. At one point, the audio recording ended and another started and it sounded like she had a raspy throat. It sounded as if she just got over a cold, her throat was still scratchy, and she decided to record anyway.

She says made-up words, such as “onvelope”, “farmiliar”, “ashfault”, and can’t tell the difference between O and Zero. She also speaks everything in the same inflection and gives every character the same voice, making it a pain in the ass to tell who the hell was who. If I wanted every character to sound the same, I’d just read it myself instead of listening to an audiobook. One additional issue is toward the end, there’s an entire chapter that’s repeated. A chapter header is placed before it, which is odd, it makes me wonder if one was missing from the audiobook.

Glue is gripping and sad, it’s moving, and it reads like a memoir and while I recommend it, I suggest you skip the audiobook version and go eBook or physical.
