I really enjoyed this one. It’s a really quick YA read that hits on some heavy topics. I really didn’t love the ending - but I also understand why the author did what they did. My heart breaks for Braden and his addictions. Then my heart breaks for Hadley and all of the pressure she’s under. I think this is a great book about addiction for teenagers - especially as it starts with an injury/prescription. This book got close to home for me so it was an easy 5 stars.
