Because Madeline has a drinking problem and issues controlling her anger, she's sent away to Spring Meadows. It's not as fancy as it sounds-it's actually a pretty intense place. But there is a weekly movie night in town... where Madeline meets Stewart, who's at another rehab facility nearby. They fall for each other during a completely crazy time in their lives, and then sort of part ways. When Madeline gets out of rehab, she tries to get back on her feet, and waits for Stewart to join her. When he does, though, it's not the ideal recovery or reunion that Madeline dreamed of. Both of them still have serious problems. And Stewart's are only getting worse... True and insightful as only Blake Nelson can be, Recovery Road is a story about finding the right person at precisely the wrong time.

"Loved this book. I’ve spent a lot of time in mental hospitals with all sorts of people so I always loved hearing their recovery stories and experiences so reading books about struggles really makes me think about myself and my trip to recovery road. This book is beautifully written. It’s also an easy read, I think I finished it in like 4 days?? It was a school book so I’d only be able to read it there in or between classes when I could but I loved it. Though the end was wonderful it made me sad because they couldn’t end up together (freaking dummy Stewart 😒) but It’s truly a great read."

"It's a good story on how to find yourself and not lose who you are to help others. I did cry. Also, who names the main love interest Stewart??? Ew"
