For Genna Pierce everything was beginning to fall into place.  Her basketball career is progressing and scouts are interested, she has caught the eye of her crush Jake Butler, and she is hoping her dream is about to come true with getting a scholarship into college.  The only negative in her life is her parents arguing, but she can live with that.  Everything is perfect, until it all comes shattering down around her and she can't play anymore.  Even when she tries to push Jake away, he is by her side.  As she begins a downward path with the help of pain meds, everything deteriorates around her,  but if she can find it within herself she can change a negative into a positive.I so felt for Genna, she has a bright future and then it implodes.  I thought that the way the author handled her addiction was eye opening and very well written.  Loved Jake, he is a trooper and a little bit of bad boy was mixed in there to be able to identify with him.  Excellent read.
