I Could Live Here Forever tells the story of a relationship between an aspiring writer and a heroin addict.

Hanna Halperin writes beautifully about loneliness and family, grief and abandonment, and the ways we use love to fill holes in ourselves that can maybe never be filled. 

The story is gripping and sad, but never manipulative or maudlin. I loved Halperin’s clear, straightforward style and the realistic way she presented the ripple effects of addiction.
