Recovery Road ReviewI won this book from the first-reads program on Goodreads, and I am so happy I did.
I read this book in one afternoon. I just couldn't put it down. It is the story of Madeline, or Maddie, a 16 year old girl who goes to rehab for drinking and a plethora of drugs, as well as anger issues. While there, she falls in love with 19 year old Stewart. She leaves rehab before him, and they promise to meet up afterward. The rest of the story is about her struggle to really connect with Stewart, finish high school, get into college, and face the pressures of everyday life in a world where most teens at least drink.
I definitely don't want to spoil this book at all by saying what happens, but I will tell you what some of my fears were. I was terrified that she would end up right back in rehab or at least back to partying all of the time. I was sure she was going to end up pregnant with Stewart's baby, and Stewart was going to either die or just abandon her. I was sure her friend from rehab, Trish, was going to die (she was too obsessed with wanting people to love her). After her guidance councilor told her there was no way she would get into any kind of good college, I was sure she was going to give up. I was also worried that every character would end up 100% turned around, no bad repercussions from the horrible choices they had made. That last fear was because I know, in reality, life doesn't work that way, so I didn't want the author to make it that way.
I wanted the author to show a person who really wanted to get better and succeeded while still having to deal with the choices she made and not ending up with life absolutely perfect. That would show readers that drugs and drinking and other addictive issues really mess up your life, but if you are in that situation, you can do something to make life better in the end.
I am not going to tell you if any or all of my predictions and fears were right. That would ruin the point of reading this story. Also, there is a lot more going on in this story, including another young girl who has taken over Maddie's role of party girl, Maddie's new formed friendships with seemingly random people, and characters hitting rock bottom and either overcoming or succumbing (both things happen, not going to say to which characters).
So in the end, I absolutely recommend this to almost any teen. This is for teens who wonder what partying might be like, teens who wonder what goes through the head of other teens that take things a little too far, teens who feel stuck in their party lifestyles, teens who are dealing with addictions, and teens who might not be too addicted yet. And of course I recommend this to people like me, people who are definitely no longer teens.(less
