From the author of Bleed Like Me, which Booklist called âedgy, dark, and turbulent with passionâ comes a âgritty, honest portrayal of the road to recoveryâ (VOYA) and forbidden romanceâstarring a fearless, unforgettable heroine.
Natalieâs not an alcoholic. She doesnât have a problem. Everybody parties, everybody does stupid things, like getting in their car when they can barely see. Still, with six months of court-ordered AA meetings required, her days of vodka-filled water bottles are over.
Unfortunately, her old friends want the party girl or nothing. Even her up-for-anything ex seems more interested in rehashing the past than actually helping Nat stay sober.
But then a recovering alcoholic named Joe inserts himself into Natâs life, and things start looking up. Joe is funny, heâs smart, and he calls her out in a way no one ever has.
Heâs also older. A lot older.
Natâs connection to Joe is overwhelming, but so are her attempts to fit back into her old world, all while battling the constant urge to crack a open bottle and erase that one thing sheâs been desperate to forget.
Now, in order to make a different kind of life, Nat must pull together her broken parts and learn to fight for herself.
