OLDER FICTION
Reed, Amy

Invincible

(3) YA Evie surprises everyone by miraculously beating terminal cancer; her best friend in the hospital is not as lucky. As she grieves, Evie attempts to readjust to "normal life," but ends up addicted to painkillers and alienated from everyone in her life except Marcus, a guy who's similarly emotionally broken. Evie's downward spiral is unflinchingly and honestly portrayed in Reed's expressive prose.
