 This story is tense, raw, uncomfortable and should appeal to your typical angst-ridden teen. 
 Nan is a slightly confused, needy girl who forms an unhealthy friendship with a new girl she meets- an association which results in alcohol addiction, blackouts, family tension and a trip to rehab. And then things get really bad.... 
 Nan is introduced to the reader on the day after Halloween as she wakes up in a subway car feeling like death warmed over, wearing a too-small ripped dress with her hair chopped off, writing on her chest, cuts on her wrist, eerie face paint and no memory of the past 24 hours. Her journey to the truth through flashbacks and slow forming memories is painfully intense and helps form a book that will have you quickly turning pages to see where Nan's memories will lead.
