In Glue, by D.W. Plato, we follow Dacia as she leaves her emotionally abusive husband for a new life. But, unfortunately, her new life is a downward spiral into drugs and serial sexual relations. She believes she is in control of her life, but actually she is on a path of self-destruction.

Written in the first person perspective, the reader gains an insight to the denial of a drug addict and the sad consequences of her addiction. At several points she tries to get off the drugs, but is unsuccessful. It becomes a very sad story at this point. The characters were well drawn and empathetic, especially Dacia.
