Modern Addiction

By Michelle Manning

Joshua never meant to become an addict. He only wanted to feel alive.

Drawn into a world of sleepless nights, reckless creativity, and a found family of artists, dreamers, and misfits, Joshua discovers something more intoxicating than any drug: belonging. Alongside Felony, Brink, Vincent, Widget, and Vice, he finds connection in a world that has always felt out of reach.

But addiction has a way of blurring the line between freedom and captivity. As their friendships deepen and their realities begin to unravel, each of them must confront the pain, loss, and longing that led them there in the first place.

Raw, darkly humorous, and deeply human, Modern Addiction explores the paradox of addiction-not only what it destroys, but also the unexpected bonds it creates. It is a story about survival, redemption, and the people who hold on to us when we're struggling to hold on to ourselves.
