A young woman living on the street has to keep her wits about her.
Or her friends. But when the drugs kick in that can be hard.
Anton has been looking out for her. She was safe with him. But then Steve came along. He had something over Anton. Must have. But he had a flat they could crash in. And gear in his pocket. And she can't stop thinking about it. A good hit makes everything all right.
But the flat smells weird.
There's a lock on Steve's bedroom door.
And the guy is intense.
The problem is, sometimes you just don't know you are in too deep, until you are drowning.

Oh, boy I need a bit of a lie down after reading this. I feel mentally and emotionally drained. I want to cry or hug someone or both. This is an incredibly sad book. It's a dark, bleak story about living on the streets, stealing and selling your body to survive another day. It's not an easy read and nor should it be. My heart went out to the unnamed narrator, who moves in with someone her friend Anton says has a place they can crash in and good gear (drugs) and continues to live there because she has nowhere else to go when Anton vanishes and she starts to get a really bad feeling about secretive, intense Steve. This is a heart-breaking, fantastic book.
