Wow, what a great story.  Olivia adopted by her uncle after her mother dies and her father isn't capable to take care of her.  Her uncle is very rich and she leads a privileged life but doesn't always understand that.  And after being betrayed by her best friend who sexually assaulted her but was also in love with her, thinking that they would end up together, she spirals out of control detaching herself from him and then getting involved with the kids who were into drugs.  She couldn't tell anyone what happened and she lived with the shame.  So totally out of control her Uncle & Aunt reach out to a rehab program that she originally resists but then grasps making new friends.  She makes a connection with her counselor and they realize they both have secrets that are dragging them down.This is a love story that takes an unconventional twist, and Olivia does not stay clean.  Things that happen when she returns home throw her right back into her need to escape using drugs and alcohol.This really is a heart wrenching story with some light at the end of the tunnel.  It isn't easy and it isn't a HEA, you will need to read book 2 to see how this story unfolds.  It was hard to put down.  The book deals with so many issues of a struggling teenager that doesn't know if she belongs, sexual assault, drugs, alcohol, cutting, suicide, you name it, tough topics. .  Excellent story, moving on to book 2 Olivia's Choice now.
