Clean


I can feel it swimming through my veins like glitter ... it's liquid gold.

When socialite Lexi Volkov almost overdoses, she thinks she's hit rock bottom.

She's wrong. Rock bottom is when she's forced into an exclusive rehab facility.

From there, the only way is up for Lexi and her fellow inmates, including the mysterious Brady.

As she faces her demons, Lexi realises love is the most powerful drug of all ... 

It's a dirty business getting clean ...

Reasons you should read Clean if you're a writer: 
  • Voice. Clean flows beautifully. Lexi's voice was utterly believable, from the language to the tone she used. 
  • Clean is a novel about addiction - and it's utterly addictive to read. The short chapters made it very hard to stop reading, and I was always thinking about this novel when I was away from it.
  • Clean is also a great example of how you don't have to agree with all the decisions a character makes - or even like them all that much - to still root for them and enjoy following their narrative journey.
