   Summary

   Nine hundred and twelve days sober. Rue has a job, a girlfriend, a life. But she's realized something terrifying: she doesn't know how to have fun. Not the numbed-out, self-destructive kind of fun she used to chase. Real fun. The kind that doesn't come with a hangover or a hospital stay. When Maddy announces she's planned a surprise trip—a week at the beach with Gia and Lexi—Rue is forced to confront the fact that she's been so focused on surviving that she forgot to actually live. A chapter about learning to say yes. About letting go of control. About finding joy in the simple, ridiculous, beautiful act of being alive.
