Summary
Rue Bennett has a job, two community college classes, and a relapse she is trying to hide behind the phrase “it’s not pills.”
Maddy Perez has a boyfriend who is nothing like Nate, which would be more comforting if that were not the lowest bar ever dragged across California.
They were never friends. They just lived through same high school, the same parties, the same play, and the same intervention where Rue threw Cassie’s secret like a grenade and Maddy happened to be standing closest to the blast.
Now they’re twenty-one, back in East Highland, and both calling themselves better.
This goes about as well as expected.
