An incredible look at what it's like to be enmeshed in drinking culture and the choices we make. 

Blake wants nothing more than to join an exclusive society with her girlfriend and best friend. When her bestie worries about Blake's drinking, Blake insists that she's fine. Even as her desired life starts to crumble around her, Blake is *fine*. Or is she? 

I read this in a day. The addiction portrayal the decisions Blake made are vivid and intense. The writing is stellar and immersive. And it tackles tough topics like toxicity, gender identity, and race. I can't wait to read more by Hammonds! 

Thanks so much to NetGalley and publisher for the opportunity to read and review!
