by Blake Nelson
From acclaimed author Blake Nelson, the story of girl meets boy...in rehab.
Madeline is sent away to Spring Meadows to help with a drinking and rage problem she has. It's a pretty intense place, but there is the weekly movie night in town - where Madeline meets Stewart, who's at another rehab place nearby. They fall for each other during a really crazy time in their lives. Madeline gets out and tries to get back on her feet, waiting for Stewart to join her. When he does, though, it's not the ideal recovery world Madeline dreamed of. Both of them still have serious problems. And Stewart's are only getting worse...
"Starred Review. This is an important story that pulls no punches." - Publishers Weekly
"Where the author excels in theme he falls short in plotting...Still, readers will be captivated by the story of Maddie and people in her life, and the strengths and losses that help her succeed." - Kirkus Reviews
