I "met" Neal Shusterman through the Unwind Dystology. And it's been a very, very long time since I've read it, but I always remembered how much I enjoyed that series. Roxy is another grand slam. Those last chapters I thought I was going to throw up I was so worried!!! <Spoiler>And God, their parents. It really hurts to think about what they must be going through knowing both their kids abused drugs

Each of the drug characters are very well personified. My favorite character is probably Addison. Idk, something about a complicated antagonist that you just gotta love.
