      Lexi Volkov sa nikdy o nič nemusela starať, všetko jej chodilo na zlatom podnose. A to doslova. Je totiž dedičkou veľkého hotelového impéria. Nosí na sebe oblečenie od svetoznámych módnych návrhárov, na večierkoch sa bežne stretáva s najväčšími hviezdami showbiznisu a nepamätá si deň, kedy naposledy bola čistá...Jedného rána sa však polomŕtva prebudí v aute na ceste do odvykacieho zariadenia pre prominentných pacientov. Nie je jediná, ktorá bojuje so svojimi démonmi. A teda, tí démoni majú rôznu podobu! Postupne zisťuje, že liečiť sa zo závislosti neznamená bojovať sám so sebou, ale prijať samého seba so všetkými dobrým aj zlým. A Lexi tu nachádza tú najsilnejšiu drogu – lásku.Britská spisovateľka, autorka viacerých bestsellerov, Juno Dawson napísala drsnú, autentickú knihu, ktorá vás zomelie ako večierok na London Fashion Week.

      "The book every LGBT person would have killed for as a teenager, told in the voice of a wise best friend. Frank, warm, funny, USEFUL." --Patrick Ness, bestselling author Lesbian. Bisexual. Queer. Transgender. Straight. Curious. This book is for everyone, regardless of gender or sexual preference. This book is for anyone who's ever dared to wonder. This book is for YOU. There's a long-running joke that, after "coming out," a lesbian, gay guy, bisexual, or trans person should receive a membership card and instruction manual. THIS IS THAT INSTRUCTION MANUAL. You're welcome. Inside you'll find the answers to all the questions you ever wanted to ask: from sex to politics, hooking up to stereotypes, coming out and more. This candid, funny, and uncensored exploration of sexuality and what it's like to grow up LGBT also includes real stories from people across the gender and sexual spectrums, not to mention hilarious illustrations. You will be entertained. You will be informed. But most importantly, you will know that however you identify (or don't) and whomever you love, you are exceptional. You matter. And so does this book. One of The Guardian's Best Books of the Year "This egregious gap has now been filled to a fare-thee-well by Dawson's book..." - Booklist (Starred)
