There are not a lot of books that look at unsafe, peer pressured, and excessive drinking that comes often times comes with older teens’ lives, but Hammonds tackles it so well in this book while also looking at the pressure and exclusion that comes with prestigious organizations. I read this book so quickly; I had trouble putting it down!

I literally get tired of hearing the word 'dramatic' over and over again in this book, but overall good.

This book was incredibly well-written and the story was so good. It's a great coming of age, finding yourself story that includes a strong friendship that ultimately makes it through the turmoil. Thirsty is a powerful, sad and angry story about addiction, losing yourself and ultimately rebuilding your life. This book made me incredibly angry from start to finish and I think that's what it's supposed to do a little. Read the trigger warnings.
