She's addicted to sex. He's addicted to booze...the only way out is rock bottom. No one would suspect shy Lily Calloway's biggest secret. While everyone is dancing at college bars, Lily stays in the bathroom. To get laid. Her compulsion leads her to one-night stands, steamy hookups and events she shamefully regrets. The only person who knows her secret happens to have one of his own. Loren Hale's best friend is his bottle of bourbon. Lily comes at a close second. For three years, they've pretended to be in a real relationship, hiding their addictions from their families. They've mastered the art of concealing flasks and random guys that filter in and out of their apartment. But as they sink beneath the weight of their addictions, they cling harder to their destructive relationship and wonder if a life together, for real, is better than a lie. Strangers and family begin to infiltrate their guarded lives, and with new challenges, they realize they may not just be addicted to alcohol and sex. Their real vice may be each other. Review: Addicted to You was a refreshing read, and something completely different from all the New Adult books I've read this year. - I don't want to be fixed. I just want to live and feed my appetite. It just so happens that my appetite is a sexual one. His vice is a bottle of whiskey. Addicted to You was a refreshing read, and something completely different from all the New Adult books I've read this year. When I first heard about this book I thought it was going to be a great read. I was completely wrong. This is an AMAZING book! Krista and Becca Ritchie did an incredible job in writing a story in which two characters, Lily and Lo, suffer through their addictions together. I will admit that Addicted to You reminded me of Ellen Hopkins writing. If you love reading Ellen Hopkin's books-Crank, Glass, Fallout, etc- then you will definitely love Krista and Becca Ritchies Addicted to You. The only difference is that Addicted to You is a New Adult book, and the situations Lily experiences with her addiction are raw and very out there. I guess the only way to be close to me is to inject yourself in my world because I won't make the move to enter yours. The water washes away the smell and grime, but my sins are here to stay. The memories don't vanish... I never thought that I would love a character like Lily's- a sex addict with family issues. Once again I was completely wrong. As I read Addicted to You, I started to learn about Lily's sex addiction and I started to know her character in a whole different level. She is not just a shy, sex addict. She is a caring, loving, and broken girl that just needs the right person to stand by her side and understand what she is going through. I understand why she keeps her sex addiction a secret from her family, and why she shy's away from others. If I were in her shoes I would do the same thing, because people would not understand this sort of addiction. Heck, I've heard about sex addicts but after reading Addicted to You I learned a lot more. I know that all of this (what happens in the story) is not true, but at some point all addicts, in real life, will cross their own boundaries to get a high of their addiction. I seriously felt everything Lily had to go through in the book. I cried with her when she just felt lost and confused with all that was going on, and I felt her strong love towards Lo. By the end of Addicted to You, I felt a connection with Lily's character. Loren Hale is an alcoholic beverage and he doesn't even know it. Lo's face darkens in contempt. "Watch it, Lily." He picks up the bottle, unbroken, and reacts as though I hit his child. What can I say about Loren (Lo) Hale? Just as Lily, Lo suffers from his own addiction to alcohol. He is totally bad news, but a total swoon worthy guy. I will admit that I don't like alcoholics, but his thoughtfulness towards Lily and the way he cares for her made me love him. He is even more emotionally broken than Lily. I believe that Lo needs Lily more, then Lily needs Lo. I will admit that there are times he is a total jerk to Lily, and at these moments I just felt like slapping or punching him in the face. I already knew more about alcohol addicts and what happens to them, because this is what health teachers teach in all of their health classes. Like I said before I don't like alcoholic addicts, but I just had to make that exception with Lo. Who can resist a protective, caring, thoughtful hottie like Lo? NOT ME :D! His character does develop (matures) by the end of this book, and I can't wait to find out what happens to him in the second book :). We're pretending, aren't we? I'm so confused. What is he to me right now? Friend, boyfriends, something else entirely? The deeper we sink, the harder it is to crawl out. At the beginning I really had no clue what was going on between Lily and Lo. He tells a guy that she is his girlfriend, but as I kept reading I find out that they are in a fake relationship. I seriously felt sorry for Lily, because she was so confused with Lo's loving affections and actions- this of course would only happen when their relatives, or known people would be watching them. Who would agree to be in a fake relationship? This is just torture for both Lily and Lo, because they are both confused with what the other one feels. The longer they stay in their fake the relationship the longer they hurt (not intentionally) one another. But the loving affections and actions between these two are both sweet and hot :D! Our relationship is dangling on thin strings that threaten to break. I feel it. I'm sure he feels it as well. When they start a serious relationship, it all starts off well. Lily is getting her sex fix and Lo is still getting his alcohol fix. The sad thing about their relationship is that they are just not that good for each other, but at the same time so right for each other?!?. Does that make any sense? Let me try to explain this :). Their addictions just get in the way of their love towards each other. It just doesn't let them love each other, and care for each other the way it is truly meant to be. But at the same time Lo and Lily are always there for each others breakdowns, and they are two broken people who can actually fix each other with each others presence. Lily's and Lo's relationship is just as broken as they are, but at the same time it is also kept together because of their need to be close to each other. I really hope this works out at the end for these two, because they are the perfect match for each other :). We've been friends, allies, for so long that I don't know who I am without him. Our lives intersect at every possible junction... Krista and Becca Ritchie delivered an incredibly fresh debut in the New Adult genre. This is a book that you will not want to miss, trust me when I tell you that this is a MUST READ! There is romance, heartache, sorrow, real life problems (addiction & family), believable characters, and there is a twist that no one will expect (I didn't even see it coming). I will say this once again, if you love reading about true life problems, raw characters, and love reading Ellen Hopkins books, then Addicted to You by Krista and Becca Ritchie is the book for you :D! ~Kassandra @ Kassie's Book Thoughts Review: Heartbreaking story with true love at its core - Lily is a college student, living with her best friend Loren. They both come from money, a whole lot of it. Lily is one of four sisters and seems to be the only one that doesn’t have some kind of “talent”. She’s not the wife and mother, or the fashion mogul, or the budding super model. She does have one title though, one she would prefer to keep hidden from her family forever…sex addict. Lily is supposed to be living with her boyfriend, not picking up random guys for quick flings in club bathrooms. Loren, or Lo, is Lily’s best friend, roommate, and fake boyfriend. In order to get their parents to sign off on them living together, and not in some dorm, they have to pretend to be a couple, with a foregone conclusion that one day they’ll be married. But in addition to Lily’s sex addiction, Lo has an addiction of his own; he’s an alcoholic. Lo has been a functional alcoholic for years, but as college has progressed, he spends more time drunk than sober, more time passed out than in class. Lily & Lo have the co-dependent relationship to end all co-dependent relationships. Reading this book is a little like watching a car crash. It’s messy, it’s sad; it could very well be people you know or love…it’s real. Their story is really just a big, ugly, mess, but it is most definitely a story that at its very core is a love story. I have seen criticism about the lack of sex in a book about a sex addict, but honestly, I feel as though adding more descriptive sex scenes would lead this book to sensationalize a very real problem. This book is not erotica, the sex is not there to be “hot”, it is there as part of the bigger picture, how Lily’s addiction to it affects every action and interaction she has with those in her life. To add sex for the sake of making the book hot would be a disservice not only to the story, but to the relationship between Lily & Lo. Part of me wants to dismiss this book as sort of a “rich kids behaving badly”, but another part of me is moved by the very real, very gritty story that the Ritchie sisters have told. Lily & Lo each hit rock bottom in their own spectacular ways; ways that are uncomfortable and Addicted to You is a solid four star read. The book is well written and the story is engaging. The Ritchie sisters have done an excellent job of creating interesting characters and a storyline that moves you. I’m not going to say the characters have any semblance of depth, because I think most of the characters in the book are very shallow, albeit by design. I have to say that by the end of the book, Lily was starting to grate on my nerves a little bit because she was just so needy and immature, but Lo’s response to his further decline was very redeeming. I applaud him for finally getting his act together. I plan on jumping right into the next volume of the series, Ricochet. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,958 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #156 in New Adult & College Romance (Kindle Store) #189 in New Adult & College Romance (Books) #238 in Billionaires & Millionaires Romance eBooks | ## Images ![Addicted to You - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81TwFV51gzL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Addicted to You was a refreshing read, and something completely different from all the New Adult books I've read this year. *by K***S on July 12, 2013* I don't want to be fixed.

Let me preface this and say that this book/series had been on my TBR since 2013. Then I proceeded to take a screenshot of the book cover when an ad on Facebook popped up. If that’s not a sign, then I don’t know what is. I’ll introduce the two main characters and then get on to my review of this book. The two primary main characters of this book are Lily and Lo. They’re childhood best friends, fake dating, roommates…oh and they’re addicts. Lily is a $ex addict and Lo is an alcoholic. This book is all told in Lily’s POV and you see how much her addiction consumes her. But the big premise to her addiction (you don’t find out until later on in the series…yes, I’ve read the whole series; Addicted & Calloway Sisters) and why she turned to $ex is eventually explained. If you’re wanting to give up on this series after one book, that’s like giving up on a TV show after one episode has aired and you eventually watch more episodes and fall in love with the characters and the storylines. That’s what this series is like. Addicts are enablers, liars, and manipulators of the truth. They isolate themselves from others that can’t possibly know what they’re dealing with. This is exactly what Lily and Lo are. They enabled each other’s addictions while trying to keep each other safe, they lied to family, and they manipulated the truth to those that cared about them. Lily and Lo isolated themselves, because they didn’t know how long they could go without their vice if they were to do so. Now on to my review. I gave this book 3 stars. Solely because I didn’t always love being in Lily’s head and me as a reader expected to get Lo’s POV as well. This book is about two addicts trying to navigate a world where people (their families) expect them to show up more than they already have on top of making sure their fake relationship keeps up with the charade. I like to not judge other reviews by saying how repetitive everything was. Which, I agree and that it was. And had I read and absorbed those reviews I wouldn’t have taken a chance on this series. But that’s addict speak. It’s an endless cycle of the same thing 24/7 and if you think they can snap their fingers and no longer be addicted to the thing that’s been a constant, then you’re in for a rude awakening. Some of Lily’s inner dialogue was exceptionally painful to read. Especially when her addiction took center stage when she was at an event for her sister. From then, that’s when the cards start to fall around her and Lo. The only way she could feel, and essentially numb the pain, was with sex. It wasn’t easy to see how much they depended on one another. This book focuses on addiction and how that addiction can interfere and ruin relationships. Now I won’t say that Lily’s addiction gets fully resolved, but over time it does get manageable. To anyone wanting to read this book, keep an open mind. I tell everyone that this series as a whole (intermixed with the Calloway Sisters) is so amazing. The journey that Lily and Lo go on as addicts gets told in a painfully beautiful way. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/132872759-addicted-to-you](https://www.desertcart.be/products/132872759-addicted-to-you) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
