I enjoyed the writing of the book. It's about where all the characters are dependent on bottles one way or another.

What if you were a 16 or 17 year old in high school and addicted to drugs and alcohol? Skipping classes and getting into trouble in school? Being someone that constantly goes to the office almost every week? The book "Bottled Up" by Jaye Murray, is all about that. Jaye Murray once was a social worker and now a first time novelist.

Pip, also known as Michael, is in high school, and is also addicted to drugs. His father is an alcoholic and he has a little brother that looks up to him for everything. Most of his life has dealt with drugs, fighting, and a lot of abuse. He realized that he wanted to change his life for good. One day Michael meets a girl named Sandra and they become friends until Sandra see's his home life. They both work together to change his lifestyle.

"Bottled Up" is really recommended to someone who likes real life situations. I really like this book because in some ways I could connect to the main character. When it talks about how his little brother likes to go wherever Michael goes, I am reminded of how my brothers are with me.

If you like real life experiences, then this is a book for you.

As I read this book I found that it was hard to put down. It grabbed me with suspence and would not let me go until I finihed it.
