More Description A field hockey star grapples with addiction in this riveting read perfect for fans of Laurie Halse Anderson's Speak.
Katie Martin wants to leave her small-town loneliness behind forever. She is a field hockey star on the fast track to a college scholarship, but her relationship with alcohol has always been a little questionable. Then trouble finds her. Alec is the most popular guy in school, and also the biggest bully--with his sights set firmly on Katie. When Alec turns on the charm, Katie thinks she must have been wrong about him.
Except that she wasn't. On a rain-soaked, alcohol-drenched night, one impulsive decision leaves Katie indebted to Alec in the worst possible way. This fast-paced and compelling story is a "thoughtful and complex portrait of addiction, accountability, and the debilitating impact of low self-esteem" (Publishers Weekly).
