Book #1 in the Addicted series
She’s addicted to sex. He’s addicted to booze… the only way out is rock bottom.
No one would suspect shy Lily Calloway’s biggest secret. While everyone is dancing at college bars, Lily stays in the bathroom. To get laid. Her compulsion leads her to one-night stands, steamy hookups and events she shamefully regrets. The only person who knows her secret happens to … only person who knows her secret happens to have one of his own.
Loren Hale’s best friend is his bottle of bourbon. Lily comes at a close second. For three years, they’ve pretended to be in a real relationship, hiding their addictions from their families. They’ve mastered the art of concealing flasks and random guys that filter in and out of their apartment.
But as they sink beneath the weight of their addictions, they cling harder to their destructive relationship and wonder if a life together, for real, is better than a lie. Strangers and family begin to infiltrate their guarded lives, and with new challenges, they realize they may not just be addicted to alcohol and sex.
Their real vice may be each other.

Author bravely explored sexual addiction as well as co-dependency in such a way that flawed characters became likable.
Fun to read, I really enjoyed it.
Very insiteful , thought provoking regarding people struggling with addiction. I would have loved to read an epilogue on their progress with recovery. That would have added another star to my rating.
it was just awkward and depressing. I honestly did not finish it. It might have turned into a decent book but I didn’t make it past chapter 3.
