YA
When a drunk-driving accident forces Natalie to admit she has a problem, she struggles between her attendance at AA (and attraction to a recovering alcoholic who's twice her age) and her old self-destructive habits. Natalie's voice is raw and real, but the novel skims over Natalie's interest in boxing, missing an opportunity to explore it as a path to a more positive future.
