Synopsis

For three years, Lily Calloway and Loren Hale have played the perfect couple. In public they are inseparable childhood friends turned devoted partners. In private, their relationship is a mutual cover story: Lily hides a compulsive addiction to sex behind Loren's arm, and Loren hides his alcoholism behind Lily's. Each protects the other's secret, and each quietly enables the other's ruin.

But the performance is getting harder to sustain. As Lily's compulsions grow riskier and Loren's drinking deepens, the fiction that has kept their wealthy families in the dark begins to crack, and the two are forced to confront whether what lies beneath the lie could ever be real love, or whether they are simply two people drowning together.

Krista and Becca Ritchie's Addicted to You is the first book in a sprawling, beloved new-adult saga about addiction, codependency, and the messy, tender work of recovery. Unflinching in its portrayal of compulsion and privilege, it launches the intertwined stories of the Calloway sisters and the men who love them.
