Kyle Keegan was like many teenagers: eager to fit in at school, he experimented with alcohol and drugs. Soon, his abuse of these substances surpassed experimentation and became a ruthless addiction to heroin that nearly destroyed his life. Now in recovery, Keegan tells his remarkable story in Chasing the High. Starting with the early days of alcohol and drug use, Keegan charts his decline into crime and homelessness as his need for heroin surpassed all thoughts of family and friends, of right and wrong. He then goes on to use these experiences to offer guidance and practical advice to other young people who may be struggling with substance abuse. In straightforward, easy-to-understand language and along with the psychiatric expertise of Howard Moss, MD, Keegan discusses what is known about the neurobiology of addiction in young people, how to seek treatment, and how to get the most out of professional help. He also covers such topics as therapies which are used to combat addiction, how to talk to families and friends about substance abuse, and how to navigate risky situations. Both an absorbing memoir and a useful resource for young people. Part of the Adolescent Mental Health Initiative series of books written specifically for teens and young adults, Chasing the High offers hope to young people who are struggling with substance abuse, helping them to overcome its challenges and to go on to lead healthy, productive lives.Binding Type: Paperback

Predictable

I found the villain of this one to be a little unbelievable. I still really enjoyed it but not my favorite

Definitely reading more by this author!!!
Format: Paperback
I really enjoyed this book! I absolutely love Holt and Wren. I loved watching them come back together and admit their feelings for each other. What I loved most was the mystery and suspension all throughout this book! It had me hooked from the very beginning, and just when I thought I knew who the culprit was, it was twisted to someone I never expected! I’ll definitely be reading more by this author 🫶🏻

First book by Catherine Cowles and it did not disappoint!
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
This was my first book by Catherine Cowles and I am sooo hooked on this series!! I fell in love with Holt & Wren. Having read the blurb before reading, I sort of knew what to expect but you’re left guessing all the way until the end who the culprit is😳
Never in a million years would I have ever guessed it right. It’s so easy to see the love between Holt & Wren never went away and all they did for 10 years was delay the inevitable.
Second chance romances are some of my favorites and this was such a good example of it. It was SO fun to watch their love grow again🫶🏼
I can’t wait to read the rest of the series and catch up with the fam and see all their love stories bloom!

Romantic Suspense…
Format: Paperback
Someone please explain to me why this is the first book I’ve ever read by the queen Catherine. When the guy’s name is Holt… automatically gets me every time. And WREN?!? I’m actually obsessed with her. Second chance, small town… yes please. I immediately have to start Nash’s book. Catherine Cowles I don’t know where you’ve been alllll of my life but I can’t believe I missed you at BB. Get ready for me to post about reading your WHOLE backlist!
