Synopsis :
Cecelia Price killed her brother. At least, that’s what the police and the district attorney are saying. And although Cecelia is now locked up and forced into treatment, she knows the real story is much more complicated.
Cyrus wasn’t always the drug-addled monster he’d become. He was a successful athlete, but when an injury forced him off the soccer field and onto pain medication, his life became a blur of anger, addiction, and violence. All CeCe could do was stand by and watch, until she realized one effective way to take away her brother’s drugs while earning the money she needed for college: selling the pills.
Soon, CeCe becomes part drug dealer, part honor student. But even when all she wants is to make things right, she learns that sometimes the best intentions lead to the worst possible outcome.

Review:
“I regret being born."
“The thing about honesty, though, is that it's a deluge, not a drip.
Once you stop, the release turns to relief so quickly, you hardly remember what you've said."

“Regret forces us to relive the moments we hate the most- the moments that drove us
into spiraling downfalls, the moments where we stopped living and started surviving."
