White Lines
A gritty, atmospheric coming of age tale set in 1980s New York City.
Seventeen-year-old Cat is living every teenager’s dream: she has her own apartment on the Lower East Side and at night she’s club kid royalty, guarding the velvet rope at some of the hottest clubs in the city. The night with its crazy, frenetic, high-inducing energy—the pulsing beat of the music, the radiant, joyful people and those seductive white lines that can ease all pain—is when Cat truly lives. But her daytime, when real life occurs, is more nightmare than dream. Having spent years suffering her mother’s emotional and physical abuse, and abandoned by her father, Cat is terrified and alone—unable to connect to anyone or anything. But when someone comes along who makes her want to truly live, she’ll need to summon the courage to confront her demons and take control of a life already spinning dangerously out of control.
Both poignant and raw, White Lines is a gripping tale and the reader won’t want to look away. ~~ synopsis from Goodreads
I read this book back in May and as disturbing as the situation and the topic was, I still loved the story.

This has been on my wish list forever. I actually won a copy from the author but it got lost in the mail so I am hoping to get lucky this time. Thank you for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds interesting
ReplyDeleteThis sounds really cool! I haven't read any book set in the 80's (at least not, since I was in high school/middle school and there was some AWFUL book we had to read in class...), but I love the 80's, so this sounds like lots of fun.
