What is the world to Jordan Vianney? Keira de Luna. Her laughter when for once it isnt fake, her love of written words, the way her hair falls over her face when shes trying to look into your eyes. That was the Jordan from freshman year. Sixteen-year-old Jordans had a serious reality checkfrom finding pills in Keiras pockets, to arguments in the school parking lot and too many broken promises, along with 1,001 different warning signs. Worst of all, everyone keeps advising him to break up with her, as if thats what you do when the person you love needs you the most. Theyre wrong, arent they? Theyre all so wrong. Thats what sixteen-year-old Jordan thinks. Seventeen-year-old Jordan isnt so sure anymore. Told in the form of therapy sessions, phone calls, journal entries, and flashbacks, Generation Wasted combines substance abuse with the emotional turbulence of adolescence and shoves addiction into the spotlight by focusing on those who may be suffering even more than the addict: mothers, fathers, siblings, and in this case, boyfriends.
