Synopsis from Goodreads
Nat's not an alcoholic. She doesn't have a problem. Everybody parties, everybody does stupid things, like get in their car when they can barely see. Still, with six months of court-ordered AA meetings required, her days of vodka-filled water bottles are over.
Unfortunately her old friends want the party girl or nothing. Even her up-for-anything ex seems more interested in rehashing the past than actually helping Nat.
But then a recovering alcoholic named Joe inserts himself into Nat’s life and things start looking up. Joe is funny, smart, and calls her out in a way no one ever has.
He’s also older. A lot older.
Nat’s connection to Joe is overwhelming but so are her attempts to fit back into her old world, all while battling the constant urge to crack a bottle and blur that one thing she's been desperate to forget.
Now in order to make a different kind of life, Natalie must pull together her broken parts and learn to fight for herself.

My Reaction
Christa Desir is an auto-read author for me, so to see this book and that cover with a release date in 2016, makes me sad. But really, gimmie this book. It looks like classic Christa, which makes me super excited for it. I honestly don't know how I am going to wait seven more months for it. It looks dark, gritty and realistic, in other words, right up my alley!
So what books are you most looking forward to?
I am definitely looking forward to this one too! It sounds pretty good. The cover is very interesting! Have a great week. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm really liking the cover a lot as well. I cannot wait to read this one!
DeleteOkay, I almost didn't read the synopsis because I had a horrible moment of cover snobbishness, but oooohhh it sounds so good! I've never heard of this author either. But yeah definitely looks like it'll be a hard-hitting book - I love those!
ReplyDeleteShe writes very hard hitting, gritty books that are not to everyone's taste, but I love them.
DeleteI've not heard of this one, Alexia! It sounds like one of those heartbreakers. I hope you enjoy it when you read it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog! Have a lovely week :)
