New Adult Bestseller - Recommended for readers 18+ for mature content.
She's addicted to sex. He's addicted to booze...the only way out is rock bottom.
No one would suspect shy Lily Calloway's biggest secret. While everyone is dancing at college bars, Lily stays in the bathroom. To get laid. Her compulsion leads her to one-night stands, steamy hookups and events she shamefully regrets. The only person who knows her secret happens to have one of his own.
Loren Hale's best friend is his bottle of bourbon. Lily comes at a close second. For three years, they've pretended to be in a real relationship, hiding their addictions from their families. They've mastered the art of concealing flasks and random guys that filter in and out of their apartment.
But as they sink beneath the weight of their addictions, they cling harder to their destructive relationship and wonder if a life together, for real, is better than a lie. Strangers and family begin to infiltrate their guarded lives, and with new challenges, they realize they may not just be addicted to alcohol and sex.
Their real vice may be each other.

My Review
I absolutely loved Addicted To You. It is the story of Lily and Lo. Two college students whose families are extremely wealthy. They struggle with addiction and work together to hide it from their families. They are both so entangled in their own addiction and completely co-dependent on each other. They've been friends forever and fall in love. But how can they ever truly love each other when they are addicted. The authors did an amazing job portraying the shame and guilt Lily and Lo experience and even the desire to be better but the ease of not trying to get better. The character development was great and I really liked both Lily and Lo, faults and all. The backstory and plot were well put together and had me questioning things but discovering them in due time. There was love and drama and even pain and truth in so much that happened. The authors did a great job telling the story. It doesn't end with a cliffhanger but in a way that you know there will be another book because there is more story to tell. I can't wait for the next one. I am rooting for Lily and Lo!
About The Authors
Becca Ritchie claims she's from Mystic Falls, but really, she lives in Atlanta where humidity is her greatest foe. She loves comic books, blue nail polish and Jonathan Taylor Thomas circa 1995. She frequents Twitter to dish about too many TV shows, and when she's not blogging, she writes novels and has teamed up with her twin sister to collaborate on a New Adult series.
Krista Ritchie has a clone...or someone who looks exactly like her. If she's not writing books with her twin sister, she's pouring over entertainment news and ingesting copious amounts of pop culture. She likes tennis, that thing called the TV, and beating Becca (her clone) on Sega Genesis. She created YA Book Exchange to combat her book buying addiction and started Nawanda Files, a YA Book Blog that features books into movies news, to share her love for all things bookish. Oh, and she does something called science. Whatever that is.
Krista & Becca Ritchie write New Adult books that make you cringe, gasp, and go ooh-la-la. (If you do that sort of thing.) They are currently working on the spin-offs and final books in the Addicted series. Connect with them on twitter and their website: kbritchie.com
