Love Is An Addiction

Rachel Westbrook is beautiful, affectionate, exciting, and completely in love with you. She just loves the nightlife, too. In the rain-soaked streets of Portland, your relationship exists somewhere between quiet nights together and weekends that don't end until sunrise. Rachel promises she'll slow down. Britney insists everyone deserves to have fun. Lexi keeps awkwardly trying to be your bro. And wherever Rachel goes, a suspiciously well-funded loser calling himself Ricardo never seems far behind. One drink becomes another. One party becomes an afterparty. One promise becomes another apology. You can go with her. You can stay home. You can try to pull her away from the life consuming her—or decide when you've finally had enough. Because Rachel loves you. The question is whether she loves the way she feels more. ––– ★★★★★ “Finally, a romance where ‘we should probably talk’ is somehow the most terrifying dialogue option.”— Portland After Dark ★★★★☆ “Come for the goth girlfriend. Stay because Alexei has somehow invited himself into your apartment.”— Neon Monthly ★★☆☆☆ “We have several concerns.”— Healthy Relationships Quarterly ★★★★★ (The Blackbird Bathroom Wall) “BRITNEY DID NOTHING WRONG.” — Britney, probably ★☆☆☆☆ — “Boyfriend seems controlling. Rachel deserves someone financially stable and available on weekends.”— DefinitelyNotRicardo92
