In Ecstasy

Kate McCaffrey

Mia and Sophie have been best friends forever – but that’s all about to change. Experimenting with alcohol, flirting with boys and dabbling in drugs, their lives quickly spiral out of control.

McCaffrey takes readers inside the life of the teen characters, showing why they make the decisions do… This is a gritty novel on an important subject.

- Aussie Reviews

The book every teenager will want to read – and every parent should read. A brutally frank look at the teenage sub-culture of drugs.

- Dr Bill Saunders

There was also something about the way [McCaffrey] described things that made them so real, so real that I often felt like I was reading someone’s biography or their memoirs from their drug-crazed days.
