Her writing has been described as "intoxicating", "sensuous and compelling", and "rage-inducing". Her latest book, On Opium: Pain, Pleasure, and Other Matters of Substance (Goose Lane, 2021 with audiobook from ECW press, 2022), tackles the overdose crisis, chronic pain, capitalism, and Romantic literature among other subjects, blending journalism, science writing, literary biography, memoir and social commentary.
