Ilustration To Books Candy

"Candy is beside me, drenched in sweat. She's breathing gently, long slow breaths. I imagine her soul going in and out: wanting to leave, wanting to come back, wanting to leave, wanting to come back. The day will soon harden into what we need to do. But for now we have each other. . . ."

He met Candy amid a lush Sydney summer. Gorgeous, sexy, free-spirited Candy. They fell in love fast, lots of laughter and lust, the days melting warmly into each other. He never planned to give her a habit. But she wanted a taste. And wasn't love, after all, about sharing lives? Candy had a bit of money and in the beginning, everything was beautiful. Heady, heroin-hazed days, the world open and inviting. But when the money ran out, the craving remained, and the days ceased their luxurious stretch.

But there was still love. Only now, it was a threesome. Heroin had its own demands, its own timetable, and thoughts of nabbing the next fix hurled them into each day. Then, when desperation sets in, Candy will stop at nothing to secure a blast, as she and her lover become hostage to the nightmarish world of addiction.

Painful, sexy, tender, and charged with dark humor, Candy provocatively charts the daily rituals of two lovers maintaining a long-term junk habit. Told in stunningly vivid prose and set against the backdrop of suburban and urban Australia, Candy is both an electrifying and frightening glimpse of contemporary life and love.

Crit Out Of Books Candy

A beautifully written train wreck. I blew through this in just a couple hours, because I couldn't turn away, I HAD to stay along for this terrible terrible ride. I've known many Candy's in my life, I've lost many friends to Heroin. I NEVER understood the appeal of this death sentence lifestyle. I wanted to get inside the mind of an addict. Well, this novel certainly was the epitome of what I was searching for as far as resolution and closure. I am proud of myself for never sinking into this

Candy by Luke Davies was one of the very first books I EVER added to my to read list on goodreads. And after all the to read sweeps I made of the bookshelf, it always made it through the elimination. I've always been a lover of books about addiction, and I guess maybe just the fact that Heath Ledger was in the movie adaptation of this novel did I decide to keep it out of all the addiction novels that has made it's way to my to read shelf, but I am so glad that it did. I didn't even love the book

A well written book that reminded me that tragedy happens slowly. It is full of drugs, sex, and mishap. It shows that sometimes the glue that holds relationships together can be the worst for us.-------------------------------------I picked this list because I had a book already on it, which is this book, and I saw a lot of others on it that I wish to read in the future. The downside, and possibly an upside, is that the list keeps getting longer every time I look at it. It'll be great to

I have plenty of friends who I could never convince that reading a miserable book is enjoyable. However, I think that miserable books offer the chance to feel strong empathy, served up alongside pity and schadenfreude. Its the book equivalent of sitting inside on a rainy day and watching through your window as people outside get soaked to the skin.Candy, a gruelling ride through heroin addiction, has nary a light-hearted moment to be found. Even the very first chapter, where the narrator

Candy- A Novel of Love and Addiction by Luke DaviesThis might be the best Junkie Love Story ever written or at the very least, the best that I've read- I read it all in one sitting on one day, New Year's Day- 2018.It's a straightforward 'A' thru 'Z' guide into the psychological vortex of Heroin Addiction, and the sub-plot might be that an addiction to Love can be just as destructive.

Candyby Luke DaviesI've came to the conclusion if you are new in recovery from any sort of substance abuse this is definitely NOT the book to read for inspiration. In fact, in the beginning of the book, the first few chapters are what we addicts call the Glory Days! When drugs were fun, made everything okay, made life feel wonderful, new, exciting, peaceful. When everything from our past that hurt us could be covered up and ignored, as if it never happened. We felt joy in the company of our new
