As someone who works in addiction, I love that a big part of the main character’s story is her recovery. It was the first part of this book that made me happy I picked it up. The other thing I really loved was the mixed media. I LOVED seeing the drawings throughout the book and it really added a fun element to the story.

In this book, we follow Mallory, who is in recovery from prescription opiates & heroin addiction. We pick up details about how her addiction started and the events that caused her using to progress. Mallory gets the opportunity to become a nanny for a 5-year-old named Teddy, who spends a lot of time drawing. Teddy’s pictures start getting a little creepy and Mallory is worried he is possessed by his imaginary friend, Anya. The story gets better as it goes on so I won’t say anything else, but I highly recommend it!
