Recovery Road is the kind of book you’ll find hard to put down. Not because it’s light reading. In fact, Maddie’s story—about a hardcore addiction she finds difficult to shake—definitely has its heavy moments. Maddie, however, is a compelling protagonist. Maybe not a lovable one at first. But her struggles feel real, her emotions raw and believable, and her quest to stay on the straight-and-narrow both wrenching and suspenseful. How will everything turn out for Maddie? This book will keep you turning the pages until you find out.
Genre: Fiction (YA) Jenny’s rating (out of 5 stars): 4.5 You’ll like this book if: True-to-life struggles, realistic transformations—and spunky protagonists—keep you turning the pages. You won’t like this book if: The realities of drug and alcohol abuse aren’t something you care to wallow in.
