When Jesse Clarke's mother overdoses, his world comes crashing down.
He's moved out of the blue to Arizona, living with a father he's never met and completely content with loneliness. That is, until he sparks up an unexpected friendship with Tomás Escamilla-Bloom, of big words and wild outfits, putting his own pieces back together after a severe medical emergency. But as their bond intensifies, so does Jesse's addiction to painkillers, and soon both he and Tomás need to learn what it might really mean to heal--and they each have to wonder if they've got what it takes.

Be careful love:) ~~~~~~ Once you become addicted to something it never goes away. And that's what we are addicted. When addicted you'll do anything to get your next fix and for us that involved fighting, murder, and risking our lives just to see the other breathing. and even when your "sober" you'll always be addicted, that will always be your one true craving.
