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.

Acknowledgments
Usually, our acknowledgments are filled with a list of people we need to thank and all the outpouring of gratitude to the people who made this book possible. Writing Tangled Like Us was different, and so this section is also going to be a little different, too.
Each of our books has a piece of ourselves in them. Personal, always. Even if we don’t come out and publicly say what specific part came from our lives, it’s there. Tangled Like Us has so much of ourselves in it. But the most important—it has our family. Our big, loud and loving Italian-American family.
It has our grandma.
Her spirit and love exists inside of Thatcher’s grandma. When we were writing Tangled Like Us, we talked with our Grandma Lou about her childhood and the Italian she grew up with in her home. Our long conversations discussing how to pronounce words like gabbadost’ and cumare , and how her mom traveled to America alone at twelve-years-old with jewelry sewn into her panties will be some of the things we cherish most about writ
ing this book.
We didn’t expect her passing. It came suddenly and unexpectedly while we were finishing the last part of Tangled, and it rocked our world to its core. One of our last conversations with her was talking about the cornic’ and how it would play an important role in the story.
Her excitement and enthusiasm over this book, which she never read but knew would exist, was such a fuel for us. She would say, “my Italian will be in the book, right?” Yes. Your Italian, Grandma, is in this book. She never believed that the way she spoke was “correct” because it was a broken Italian that those in Italy wouldn’t understand. But the Italian-American immigrant language is so very special and close to our hearts. It’s what we heard growing up, and since we didn’t know any other Italians in the area, it felt like only our families understood the words.
Our grandma was a light in the world. Now she’s a spirit in the sky, but she has impacted so many people with her love and generosity. And when our mom needed her when we were born, she packed up her bags and traveled hundreds of miles to be with our mom. Without hesitation.
