Editorial Reviews " Nash, in short, has pulled off a remarkable feat, taking a topic of great relevance and—without a hint of censure or denunciation—making it integral to a tale whose only demand is that it be read in one sitting. " - Kirkus Reviews "Lifeline plunges the reader into Eli's rough journey— Nash doesn't hold back. Buckle up. " - K.M. Walton, author of CRACKED, EMPTY, & ULTIMATUM " Tragically timely , this story dives deep into the brutal and heroic work that recovery requires. An addict's self-denial and self-destruction is laid out with raw honesty and while the path back is steep, Nash shows redemption is well within reach. A gorgeously written and ultimately hopeful debut that will resonate with readers of any age. " - Karen Fortunati, author of THE WEIGHT OF ZERO "Nash knows exactly what she's doing here, and it's clear on every page. One of the best small-press gems I've read in a long time. " - Dahlia Adler, author of BEHIND THE SCENES, UNDER THE LIGHTS, and JUST VISITING, and NA novel LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT " This is a must read this year. It does deal with sensitive matters, but it is done very tastefully. I give this book a solid five stars." - Up All Night with Books Popular high school senior Eli Ross has the perfect life.
