Samenvatting:

From the author of Bleed Like Me, which Booklist called &;edgy, dark, and turbulent with passion&; comes another compelling and gritty novel about addiction and forbidden romance&;starring a fearless, unforgettable heroine.

Natalie&;s not an alcoholic. She doesn&;t 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.

But then a recovering alcoholic named Joe inserts himself into Nat&;s life, and things start looking up. Joe is funny, he&;s smart, and he calls her out in a way no one ever has.

He&;s also older. A lot older.

Nat&;s 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 bottle and blur that one thing she&;s 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.
