Description
From the New York Times bestselling author of Girl in Pieces and How to Make Friends with the Dark comes a breathtaking contemporary YA about addiction, family and finding your voice.
Emmy is the good one. Not strong-willed like her beautiful older sister Maddie and not difficult like her brother Joey. She takes up as little space as possible. When Joey returns from rehab, her parents ask her to act as his guardian. She’s also expected to keep on top of her grades and hold everything together after the tragic events of that summer. The only person who makes her feel seen is her secret lover Gage, but no one can find out about that. How long can Emmy keep up her careful balancing act before it topples?

Important note: please check the trigger warnings before you decide to read this book, as it deals with very heavy subjects like suicide, drug use and abuse, and addiction.
Emory is a girl just trying to survive high school by staying in other people’s shadows and trying to fix other people. That’s not how life works. You can’t “fix” other people. You can’t live your life constantly thinking of others first and putting yourself in second place. Yet, she tries. Her brother is suffering from addiction and she wants to fix him, to help him, so he doesn’t relapse.
This book absolutely blew me away. I had a very hard time reading the last few chapters because I had tears in my eyes the entire time. I also had to put the book down after the first view chapters because the topic is so heavy and just reading it made me hurt. This story is a very important story that definitely needs to be told. I could relate to Emory very very much, in a way that made me ache and hurt and think about my own life. I would highly recommend this book to literally anyone and everyone.
I would like to thank Kathleen Glasgow for writing this amazing and incredible book. It’s raw, it’s real, and this story — like I said before — needs to be told. Secondly, I would like to thank NetGalley for providing an eARC in exchange for an honest review.
