Growing up in the 1990s, twin brothers Nick and Simon are inseparable. They’ll do anything for each other. As Simon puts it, they are ‘one split in two’. But that bond turns into a curse when both become addicted to heroin and frequently undermine each other’s desperate attempts to get clean. Over a number of years, the boys and their family are thrown into emotional and financial chaos – until the terrible day when Nick pays the ultimate price for his addiction.

Featuring: Bamshad Abedi-Amin, Janice Acquah, Victor Alli, Josephine Arden, Scarlett Brookes, Jessica Dennis, Felicity Duncan, Owen Findlay, Emilia Fox, Matt Gavan, Tom Glenister, Chris Grahamson, Roger May, Nicholas Murchie, Harry Myers, Sarah Whitehouse and Josh Zaré.

In her son’s memory, Elizabeth founded DrugFam, a charity providing a lifeline to families, friends and partners affected by someone else’s drug or alcohol use.

I have to write a review here and now .. I’ve just finished listening to this book over two days ... so brilliantly written and performed... as a person in Recovery I identified all the way through .. I hit rock bottom and went in to treatment .. I love my life today and I know how hard and life-changing drink and drugs can alter lives, hopes and dreams. I send love and thanks to the whole team involved .. especially the family .. thank you for your truth .. I was so touched by your story and I still have deep emotion milling around as I write this xxxxx

One of the best books I have EVER heard

Heartbreaking story. Just shows how difficult addiction is and can totally see how the relationship between these identical twins spurred on their addiction. Elizabeth was amazing, I could not have dealt with the situation at all, and even Tony for hanging in there. The book was written so well. Emilia Fox and cast were also amazing.

Just amazing

An incredible, yet saddening and ultimately, hopeful story.

Nick and Simon, identical twins and best friends. Growing up together in the shadow of each others behaviours. Their bond unbreakable, but leaving behind them a path of destruction.

A fantastic performance by the story narrators. Incredibly emotive at times, even to the point of tears for me.

I throughly enjoyed the audiobook, despite it being emotionally challenging at times.

Ultimately, the story ends in triumph over addiction. I would highly recommend.

Insightful, harrowing, but hopeful
