Write Up About Books Rx

I should have stopped...I really wish the word "retarded" was not used even once. A story about prescription drug addiction that high schoolers with a lot of pressure might have. The language ruined it all for me.

I struggled finishing this book because the main character, Thyme, was extremely selfish, annoying, and fake. I can see the importance of the plot and the message behind it all, But Thyme got away with everything, not really reaping a punishment for abusing prescription drugs. Also, there were a few plot holes with her friend, Suze. I honestly would not read this again, nor recommend it. There are way better books that go through the prescription drug epidemic and how it affects young teens.

This is a quick read, pretty good. It's one of those 'topic' books that's gonna age itself out because of all the (almost necessary) pop culture references and slang. Topic - prescription drug abuse.I'm a bad person to review this, since damn, I wish I'd had access/been on half those drugs in high school. And I was in the same social circle as Thyme. Fighting to stay in the "top 10%" of the class.Except I was more like Meera. And I didn't figure out till sophomore year of college that I didn't

Rx certainly isn't original, and it has afterschool special written all over it, but it's not a bad book and its main character is no conventional drug dealer. The trouble for her is that she's giving away restricted medications and diagnosing her friends with mental illnesses, and it's not long before the consequences hit her like a brick wall.

Thyme has it all, top of the school. She's a senior, on the student council, she's even in the top twenty GPA range for her high school. She's also a drug dealer. But nothing illegal, just "study drugs." All prescription.It was an interesting read, interesting to see the view of the person that deals the drugs. She didn't start out that way, it started as a sort of popularity seeking ploy and a way to keep up on her studies.Addiction, language (lots), learned habits from her parents, suicide,

It was hard for me to get into this book for some reason. The writing was not was I was used to, and it started kind of slow. But as I kept reading it finally picked up and it wasn't a bad book in the end.

It was a very quick read as Tracy Lynn has written it so well. I never thought one of these books would become somewhat addictive which is ironic as the main character overcomes an addiction to illegal prescription drugs.The book is very relevant to what is going on in schools and colleges today and shows how desperate people can get for grades and social security. I would highly recommend this to anybody mainly teens and young adults as it is not relatable necessarily but relevant.
