REVIEW: INEBRIATED

BY KATEY TAYLOR

SYNOPSIS FROM AUTHORS WEBSITE⇣
Barely seventeen and as pretty as can be: the summer is their playground. Cait and her best friends Steph and Allie take on San Francisco's party scene with fake IDs and short dresses.
When Cait meets Adrien Cross, the charismatic lead singer of her favorite indie band, she's introduced to a hedonistic world of liquor and lust that she never wants to leave.
But then that world spirals out of control and the harsh realities of reckless living take a toll on Cait and the ones she loves.
What will be left when the makeup masks wash off, the bottles are empty, and Cait begins to lose her grip on everything?
Katey Taylor's heart-wrenching debut novel will have you strapped into the intense rollercoaster ride of Cait's life and one chaotic summer that will change it all.

MY THOUGHTS⇣

I thought this was going to be different than it was.  I thought it would focus on addiction and then working to break the addiction.  But it wasn't, not really.  It was really just a booze-fest for teens, heavily laden with bad decisions, and overly clueless parents.  If nothing else, you could use this book to teach your teen what not to do.  I guess someone young might like this sort of train-wreck of a story, but it wasn't really a good fit for me.
