In the sequel, Renee is back and faced with a court-ordered requirement to enter a mental health and substance abuse program. While the rehab facility could be a haven for her recovery, she's far from committed. Her hesitation is rooted in the unsettling idea of facing her day-to-day life without the comfort of meth, her go-to for numbing emotional scars we learned about in the first book. Now, she's at a pivotal point, having to reconsider her lack of enthusiasm for the healing journey ahead.
