Lingering pain make jumping back into the season hard, so she begins to rely more and more on the painkillers she was prescribed at the hospital. But the painkillers take a hold of her in a way she didn’t expect. When her prescription runs out, she continues to chase the feelings the pills gave her by whatever means necessary. As she falls into a world that she didn’t even know existed before with new friends and new experiences, she spirals out of control. Will she be able to pull herself back out of her path of self-destruction? Warning: This vivid, realistic portrayal of addiction may be too mature for some readers.  (Florida Teen Reads nominees 2021)
