Needled  (English, Paperback, Rsvika Tripathi)

Loving someone is hard. Loving someone addicted is a war. She wasn’t looking for chaos, but chaos found her — in the form of a boy with trembling hands, a fractured soul, and secrets stitched into his skin. A boy who promised to change. A boy who swore love could be stronger than his cravings. But addiction doesn’t just belong to the addict. It seeps into the veins of everyone who dares to care — turning love into obsession, hope into destruction, and care into quiet self-destruction. Needled is not just a story of substance abuse. It’s a story of love twisted into survival, of betrayal tangled with forgiveness, and of the silent battles fought by those who love someone drowning. A raw, haunting tale that lays bare the unseen wounds of addiction — not just in those who use, but in those who choose to stay. Because sometimes, the hardest addiction to break is the need to be needed.
