Edge of Recovery by Molly E. Lee

4.0

I was really hesitant to read this book. I wasn't sure how I'd feel after seeing the way Justin acted in [b:Edge of Chaos|29056272|Edge of Chaos (Love on the Edge, #1)|Molly E. Lee|https://d2arxad8u2l0g7.cloudfront.net/books/1457715576s/29056272.jpg|49285727]. After finishing that book I just wanted to hate his guts and leave it at that. But another part of me wanted to see if he'd really change and where the journey of change would take him. There was a lot about this book that I completely disagreed with. Like for example an addict isn't suppose to be romantically involved with anyone until they are at least a year sober. Another thing, it was entirely inappropriate for Justin and his sponsor Charlie to get together. I know it's said multiple times in the book so they know this and I just wish they'd take their own doubts to heart. It isn't right to base all your reason for getting sober on someone, because if something happens with that person it could cause the addict to regress big time. But Justin did seem to want to get sober for himself and Charlie was just the push he needed. As hard as it was to get through this book because of Justin's previous actions, I'm glad I gave him a second chance, because everyone deserves one. I'm glad I got to see a better side to Justin and that he got some happiness back because he deserves it. As many flaws that I felt the characters had, this is probably my favorite book in the series.
