Another Favorite from one of my Favorite Authors

I really love this author. Mindy McGinnis writes a lot of darker young adult fiction. This particular book follows a teenager in her senior year of high school as she becomes addicted to oxy and then heroine after a car accident. It felt very much like McGinnis was writing a nonfiction book with fictional characters. She always makes me worry for her characters. This book may not be for everyone, as it goes into detail about addiction.
