Summary: How do you find someone who doesn’t want to be
found? A girl searches for her missing addict brother while confronting her own
secrets in this darkly lyrical novel.
Rachel has always idolized her older brother Micah.
He struggles with addiction, but she tells herself that he’s in control. And
she almost believes it. Until the night that Micah doesn’t come home.
Rachel’s terrified—and she can’t help but feel
responsible. She should have listened when Micah tried to confide in her. And
she only feels more guilt when she receives an anonymous note telling her that
Micah is nearby and in danger.
With nothing more to go on than hope and a slim
lead, Rachel and Micah’s best friend, Tyler, begin the search. Along the way,
Rachel will be forced to confront her own dark secrets, her growing attraction
to Tyler…and the possibility that Micah may never come home.
Review: The book was... Freaking fantastic for a lack of a
better word. It started out sad and without hope then by the end she had
discovered a lot about herself and her brother and so many other things. She
found a way that she could let go of her problems and start anew. She may have
even found a cute new guy who could change her world. The end left me wishing
for a bit more. Maybe we will see the romance with her in another book, never
know. This book to me was well written and had a lot of heart and truth written
behind it from an addicts view and from watching someone close to them suffer
from addiction. I know that because I have to watch someone fight addiction
everyday who is very close to me. This is a definite must read!
