It took a little getting used to at the beginning but once I had gotten my head around the behaviours and actions of the drug characters everything fell into place and the plot flowed. The people taking the drugs interact with the drug characters as if they were normal people just having a conversation. ![]() The book had an air of mythology about it and it was intriguing to witness drugs being given a voice and a ‘human’ side. However, the pair have a bet to see if they can make their human overdose and we know from the opening scene that one of the siblings dies, we just don’t know which. However, their job is also to hold their human addicted long enough that they then need to move onto the more lethal drugs, where the person will eventually be taken to the VIP room – When the person dies. Roxy and Addison are all too happy to see them addicted, that is their job. The siblings through no fault of their own find themselves in need of the medications more and more to just get through the day and become addicted. The other two characters are the drugs that they take, Roxy (oxycodone – Isaac’s pain relief) and Addison (Adderall – Ivy’s medication to treat her ADHD). Roxy is a very unusual book in that it is mainly about four characters, Isaac and Ivy who are human teenage siblings, both of whom are taking medication for very different reasons. ![]()
