Description

The Blue Kind takes place in a city where “the laws of physics are lax and everyone gets high”. For a thousand years, Alison and her two friends have been using a series of imagined intoxicants to cope with the burdens of a painful past and a world that’s slowly crumbling. The Blue Kind explores addiction and co-dependence, while set against the backdrop of a dystopian society that uses women as collateral in drug deals. When a powerful new drug hits the scene, it offers Allison a chance to escape the vicious cycle she’s fallen into. But there’s one problem - it’s cooked and sold by the kingpin she’s been traded to in the past. This conflict forces the characters to question the limits they’re willing to compromise in order to maintain their addiction.

The short, fast-paced novel is told through the eyes of a woman who sees the beauty and humor of the world around her, despite her dire situation and the impending apocalypse.
