This was a really weird take on drug addiction. I'm not sure how well I like this one.

Disconnected is a short story by Jennifer Weiner about a young addict after rehab who tries to make a fresh new start but is constantly facing old demons and is never really able to become Disconnected. This was a suspenseful short with a well thought out final twist.

After her sixth attempt at rehab, Shannon finally decides to embrace sobriety, faithfully attending meetings and make and effort to rebuild her life. In following the advice of her sponsor to cut all ties with her former life, Shannon decides to get a new phone but almost immediately she begins to receive strange texts from an unknown caller which threaten to derail her recovery.
This isn't a story I expected from Jennifer Weiner but it bears the hallmarks of her stylish, tight writing. A dark story of addiction, tempered by a quest for redemption, with a surprise paranormal twist, Disconnected packs quite a punch despite its diminutive length.

I checked this out on audio from my local library not realizing it was 'a short.' That said this was a truly enjoyable read that left me with that AH at the end with where the story went.

Usually I'm not a huge fan of short stories but I really liked this one. It was powerful and moving and very sad.
