It was hate at first sight......
Affton
I hated Cable James McCaffrey.
He was entitled, spoiled, a user…and an addict.
He was out of control and didn’t bother trying to hide it.
He had everything anyone could want but still seemed miserable and lost.
Every move he made, every mistake he stumbled his way through, rubbed me the wrong way. However, I couldn’t stop myself from trying to save him from himself when no one else would. In the sweltering heat of the summer, Cable taught me that having it all means nothing if you can’t have the one thing you want more than anything else.
Cable
I was obsessed with Affton Reed.
She was rigid, uptight, and no fun. There was something about her innate goodness that called to me.
She acted like she was above all the normal faults and failures that clung to the rest of us like the scent of smoke after a fire.
I was infatuated with her, but that didn’t stop me from acting like she didn’t exist.
In the scorching heat of summer, Affton taught me that there is always a way back from the brink of despair. She showed me that the trick to having it all was realizing that it was already there, in my hands. All I had to do was hold onto it.
The road to recovery is full of twists and turns no matter who is in the driver’s seat.

Excerpt
AFFTON
“Really, what are your plans for the entire summer, Cable? You can’t just sit around feeling sorry for yourself day in and day out.”
Well, he could, and he seemed perfectly content to do exactly that, but if I had to watch him wallow in self-pity all day, every day, I was going to lose my mind. Actions had consequences, and clearly it was the first time in his life that Cable had to face those nasty little fuckers head-on.
He looked at me out of the corner of his eye from where he was folded into my passenger seat, an unlit cigarette dangling from his lips. I refused to let him smoke in my car, and I stuck to my guns even though the car was a thousand years old and already had a distinct smell of its own. His hair was still wet, and his attitude was piss poor and prickly. Being trapped in a small space with him was unnerving, and I was disturbed by the way the space between us seemed charged and electric. If I moved in any direction, I worried there was a risk of getting shocked. I didn’t want to have any kind of reaction to this sullen, spoiled boy. I wanted to be immune. Numb. Frozen.
He plucked the cigarette out of his mouth and put it behind his ear. His wide shoulders lifted and dropped in a bored shrug. “You’re here to ensure I can’t do all the things I normally do, so I guess I’ll have to find other ways to entertain myself.”
The suggestive drop in his tone made me blush as I cast a narrow-eyed look in his direction. It bugged me that every time he insinuated something sexual, I couldn’t control the way my blood heated and my heart rate sped. I tried to convince myself it was from embarrassment and awkwardness, but I’d never been a very good liar.
Review
I've been a huge fan of Jay Crownover's books since I read my first one years ago, but something about they synopsis of Recovered really drew me in. It felt as if it would be a deeper, more emotional, and compelling read and I had to know where it would lead me. First off, let me say that I read this book slowly - not because I was unhappy with it, but because it felt almost sacred. The story varies from super intense and angsty to heavy on the deep and emotional, and yet each bit builds the layers of Affton and Cable and drew me further in.
There's a powerful connection between these two, one that can be seen and felt right away and yet takes a while to really shine through. I love that this story tackles a hard subject and shows it from all angles. I love that it isn't a neat and tidy story, that there's so much more going on, there's a lot that both Affton and Cable struggle with and it shows and it's there between them.
Recovered is definitely a book that will be many things to different people - there will be those who don't grasp it, those who don't find within the pages what others will love and that's okay. But, I for one, am glad that I read this story, that I took a chance on it, because it really grabbed hold of me and blew me away. This book will put you through the ringer, it will tug on your heart like never before, it will make you pay attention, dig deeper, and work your way through what these characters are saying even when they are silent.
