By approximately a quarter of the way through the book, I was hooked and found it difficult to put down.Ĭat, at least the older, wiser version in the novel, nails what it is like to grow up, to love and lose. She clearly understands right from wrong, but she is fixated on her new best friend Marlena and making the worst possible choices for her life. Also, in the beginning, I didn’t get the fixation on drugs. ![]() The protagonist, Cat, isn’t the easiest person to get to know. It took a while for me to get into the book. It is ultimately a tale of two best friends growing up in a dull northern Michigan town. In fact, I discovered it by browsing a selection of online books available through my library’s website. ![]() I didn’t read Marlena with a set purpose in mind. ![]() By the way, when I mention drugs here, I am including alcohol. ![]() They are necessary to the plot, and fortunately, do not glamorize the consequences of either. The good news is that the drugs, and to a lesser extent, sex, drive the plot. Fair warning: Lots of drugs and sex involved. While it contains components of a YA (young adult) novel, I would classify it as emerging adult. ![]()
