4.5

The story of Lexi and friends, both in the real world and in rehab, Clarity, is a story most of us have been a part of one way or another.
Clean is an easy read, which seems fast but is more medium paced, and may discomfort the reader or at least make the reader question what's really important in your life.
I don't know if it was the writing, the characters or the story that got me hooked, no pun intended, but I breezed through this book in a day, all the while alternating between yelling a Lexi to grow up, and to realise she can do better in friends/boyfriends.
