Sixteen-year-old Gordie Jessup is a good kid but he's living a nightmare. His eighteen-year-old brother Chase's two-year addiction to crystal meth has left their family emotionally and financially drained. And just when Gordie thinks he can no longer stand the manipulating, the lying and the stealing, things get even worse. Chase is arrested for aggravated assault, released on bail and sent home to his family. But his dealers are after him and Chase appeals to Gordie for help. Gordie, disgusted with his brother and fully aware that it's a gamble, risks everything he has in the hope of bringing his family some peace.

"The book was very well-written, and had a lot of good points about how hard it can be to break a cycle of addiction in any form. While the book had an abundance of hard-hitting points, though, it ultimately had no direction. The ways things start is the same way they end, and the sad note of inevitability the novel leaves you with is unsatisfying overall. A solid one-time read!"
