Tripping Back Blue - What’s it about?

Finn is a 17-year-old full of paradoxes. He’s a drug dealer, but he’s scoring money to send his twin sister to Harvard. He’s desperate to shoot up even though he’s the most popular kid in Dammertown. He’s a philosopher and orator who’s failing all his classes. The only time he finds peace is when he’s bird-watching. Finn’s life begins to spiral out of control, until he discovers a miracle drug called indigo. Finn is convinced that the drug is the way out of everything broken in his life. But is it really as magical as it seems?

“An emotional and original debut novel that will hook older teen readers and young adults.” - Kirkus Reviews

"Hand to teens on the edge of new-adult readership who seek a gritty, twisting, high-stakes plot overlaid with pensive, well-crafted language." - Booklist

"There's nothing pretty about drug addiction, but a new drug called indigo, named for the powder's lovely hue, would suggest otherwise. . . Storti's debut . . . is a coming-of-age story wrapped in a cautionary tale . . . yet [Finn's] desire to rise above his circumstances makes for an undeniably entertaining story with a hopeful conclusion." - Publishers Weekly
