Junk by Melvin Burgess

junk = heroin = bliss = despair = a love affair you'll never forget
Tar loves Gemma, but Gemma doesn't want to be tied down - not to anyone or anything. Gemma wants to fly. But no one can fly forever. One day, somehow, finally, you have to come down.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
Powerful, unflinching and never patronising this is a really good story that tells you everything you'd ever want a teenager to know about drug-taking and where it can lead.
