Synopsis:

Hellish Nightmare…

If seventeen-year-old Seth Bradson were to describe his life in two words, those would be the two he’d choose. Seth prefers to cope with his crappy existence by spending his days in a drug-induced haze. But when Ali Carson steps into his life, Seth finds something he’s subconsciously been seeking—a new drug, one that consumes his mind unlike any other.

Love.

In a moment of unforgivable weakness, Seth allows Ali to try crystal meth, his most addictive temptation. This single event begins the unraveling of both their lives and forces Seth to learn the definition of regret the hard way.

REVIEW:

So the subject matter is really what pulled me in. Can you fall in love with a pot smoking kid from a bad home? Yes. Oh wait that was for me too and my answer is also YES! Seth is not a bad kid. He has a bad mother and brother, but really he needs love! When he meets the “new” girl Ali he just falls hard. I loved the way they were portrayed. Seth was doing his thing, but the guy was smart. He knew how things were and he knew what he could do and what he couldn’t do. He his brother and his Mom become addicts to drugs and alcohol. He certainly knew that he had limits, right or wrong, he did have limits. I feel like he spoke to me and I related to his need to survive.

The best was Ali and how her Dad, a cop, was oblivious to her smoking and getting high. Her Mom was a writer and in her own little world. What things appear to be are not so. The need to wake up and understand this happens so much more than you realize. She kept it hidden and poor Seth was so in love with her he didn’t see what I saw. I think if it was not Seth, she would have done what she did with someone else. She has a draw to that lifestyle.

Yes it was loaded with drama, but you have to read it! The underlying intelligence of Seth has to be read, as the love story. No matter what read it for that! Just read it! Nothing I say about the drug abuse and lifestyle will make sense to anyone unless they see it from Seth’s POV. It does NOT glorify this at all, if anything some people may get educated and that is the message I want to send.
