When a car crash sidelines Mickey just before softball season, she has to find a way to hold on to her spot as the catcher for a team expected to make a historic tournament run. Behind the plate is the only place she’s ever felt comfortable, and the painkillers she’s been prescribed can help her get there. The pills do more than take away pain; they make her feel good. But as the pressure to be Mickey Catalan heightens, her need increases, and it becomes less about pain and more about want, something that could send her spiraling out of control.

Thought Provoking
Revisado: 05-01-19
Trigger warning: Depicts person falling into heroine addiction very vividly. Would not recommend to newly recovering addicts.
This book will make you think. Almost everyone knows an addict and this will help you see deeper into how this kind of thing can happen. The narrator is crisp and full of emotion and helps you feel for this character. I flew through the first ten hours in 3 days and then had to take a break for almost a month before finishing as it was very heavy. Definitely worth a credit.

When Rosie and Penn and their four boys welcome the newest member of their family, no one is surprised it's another baby boy. At least their large, loving, chaotic family knows what to expect. But Claude is not like his brothers. One day he puts on a dress and refuses to take it off. He wants to bring a purse to kindergarten. He wants hair long enough to sit on. When he grows up, Claude says, he wants to be a girl.

Glad I Chose the Audio
Revisado: 12-22-18
This story is amazing and I absolutely loved it. It was moving and made me cry. But I think it was the narrater that made this experience perfect. She was perfectly matched to the story and read sensitively and passionately. While I would recommend this book, it is the audio that I will recommend every time.

Pay close attention, and you might solve this. On Monday afternoon five students at Bayview High walk into detention. Bronwyn, the brain, is Yale-bound and never breaks a rule. Addy, the beauty, is the picture-perfect homecoming princess. Nate, the criminal, is already on probation for dealing. Cooper, the athlete, is the all-star baseball pitcher. And Simon, the outcast, is the creator of Bayview High's notorious gossip app. Only Simon never makes it out of that classroom. Before the end of detention, Simon's dead.

They say that the cure for love will make me happy and safe forever. And I've always believed them. Until now. Now everything has changed. Now, I'd rather be infected with love for the tiniest sliver of a second than live a hundred years suffocated by a lie. There was a time when love was the most important thing in the world. People would go to the end of the earth to find it. They would tell lies for it. Even kill for it. Then, at last, they found the cure.

Good book, average narrator
Revisado: 02-09-17
Any additional comments?
Congratulations to Oliver on writing a dystopian novel that does not have a love triangle. Also, for writing a book that actually made sense to continue as a trilogy (or at least to a second book) and not dragging out the first story forever for the sake of making it into a trilogy/series. This is set in a world that sees love as a disease, at the age of 18 you get cured of the Deliria and you get to live your life content. Not necessarily happy, but content.I thought some very good points were brought up in this book. What is the absence of love? Hate or indifference, and which is worse. I also appreciated that she not only focused on romantic love but familial love, the love in friendship and the love of things and beings not human.So why three stars instead of four? The grammar in this book was not always what it should have been (e.g. "his eyes literally danced"). The narrator for the audiobook was irritating. And while a good book, it wasn't fantastic. However, it was intriguing and the ending was good so I will be listening to the sequel.
