Leaving behind a nightmarish college experience, 19-year-old Nicole and her best friend Eric escape their home of Bangor, Maine to start a new life in Boston. Fragile and scared, Nicole desperately seeks a new beginning to help erase her past. But there is something besides freedom waiting for her in the shadows - a drug that will make every day a nightmare.
Heroin.
With one taste, the love that once flowed through Nicole's veins turns into cravings. Tracks mark the passing of time, and heroin's grip gets tighter. It holds her hand through deaths and prostitution, but her addiction keeps her in the darkness. When her family tries to strike a match to help light her way, Nicole must choose between a life she can hardly remember, and a love for heroin she'll never forget.

Also, please be careful reading this title as it does have scenes that can be triggering. (Sexual assault, violence, Drug use)
This story really shed some light on the things that happen within the different communities of addicts. The way that this title was written its like a first hand account of this person's life. I am not sure if the Author actually experienced these issues, however from the way it was written, it seems it could loosely be based on their life or someone who they know.
I am not going to lie, I was about 20 chapters into this book and was like " this girl has done every darn drug i could possibly think of, how can she sink any lower?" booyyy did I get the question answered!
Nicole (our main character) goes through an insane amount of loss and hardship.. all brought on by her own behavior. I will say that I found her behavior towards her family to be cruel. I really did not like that almost everyone in the title who was a "friend" to Nicole dies, and all she can continue to do is blame everyone else and continue the use of drugs.
I did find her lack of accountability annoying, however, i do know that this is how addicts act and it also made the story more believe able. I am thankful that i got to listen to this title, because it shows what can happen to a person when they do not get help after having a traumatic experience. It proved that mental illness is really at the root of so many evils.
I recommend this book to anyone who has a bit of tough skin, as mentioned before, some people may find this book triggering.
I do see that this book seems to be part of a series, but i did not find a part two to it on Audible, it does seem to be available on kindle. Hopefully it is just as good as this story.
If the title fits.. (Contains spoilers)
