Addicted to You

Addicted Series, Book 1

By: Krista Ritchie, Becca Ritchie

Narrated by: Victoria Connolly, Teddy Hamilton

Fans of Gossip Girl, Friends, and Euphoria will devour this edgy new adult romance set in a world of lust, fame, swoon-worthy men, and friendships that run deeper than blood.

She's addicted to sex. He's addicted to booze… the only way out is rock bottom.

No one would suspect shy Lily Calloway's biggest secret. While everyone is dancing at college bars, Lily stays in the bathroom. To get laid. Her compulsion leads her to one-night stands, steamy hookups and events she shamefully regrets. The only person who knows her secret happens to have one of his own.

Loren Hale's best friend is his bottle of bourbon. Lily comes at a close second. For three years, they've pretended to be in a real relationship, hiding their addictions from their families. They've mastered the art of concealing flasks and random guys that filter in and out of their apartment.

But as they sink beneath the weight of their addictions, they cling harder to their destructive relationship and wonder if a life together, for real, is better than a lie. Strangers and family begin to infiltrate their guarded lives, and with new challenges, they realize they may not just be addicted to alcohol and sex. Their real vice may be each other.

Teddy only narrates bonus chapter

Just letting you know if you are a TH fan. He only narrated last 20 minutes in the bonus chapter.

Hard to say I loved Lily & Lo’s relationship because it was riddled with unhealthy behaviors, but I did. They were there for each other when no one else was.

Lilys addiction seemed kind of nuts. I knew someone diagnosed with sex addiction and it was nothing like that. I have to read up on it - never heard of those kinds of hairpin triggers (getting off just by looking at some hot guy in a bar).

B plot was kinda thrown in there and it’s easy to pickup on the secret before the reveal. Could have been more depth and emotional repercussions, but story flipped right back to the main issue after about 100 words.

B-

Fantastic Start

This a wonderful and emotional start to the series. It's one of my very favorites and one I keep coming back to over and over. I've listened to the original recording and had to purchase this new one. which of course means I have to reread/listen the series again. I really love how the world builds and all these characters. It's a different sort of love story not just between Lily and Lo but the family relationships and friendships. Narration is done really well and brings these characters to life.

The story line

Horrible book, don’t waste your time. Characters are weak and unbelievable and the sex scenes (which are constant) are disturbing
