Burnout by Adrienne Maria Vrettos
3.0
Recommended by one of my teens at the library and so far removed from what I usually read that it's hard to judge.
Nan, six months out of rehab and still grieving the end of her intense friendship with Seemy, wakes up in a subway car in clothes she doesn't recognize with HELP ME scrawled on her chest. She can't remember last night, and she keeps blacking out, but as she begins to put the pieces together, she worries that Seemy may be in terrible danger. Part retrospective of an intoxicating friendship, part mystery, Burnout is intensely plotted. It gives up some depth to pacing, and it's not exactly my cup of tea, but should have great teen appeal, particularly for fans of Ellen Hopkins & the like.
