Bad Decade - Paperback

Bad Decade is Polina's story: a messy, aching, and brutally honest journey through growing up when the world never felt built for you. After leaving Russia, she's thrown into a new country, a new language, a new version of herself that never quite fits. What starts as loneliness turns into something darker; nights that blur together, bad choices that feel like relief, and a mind that won't stop pulling her under.

But this isn't just a story about falling apart. It's about what comes after. It's about clawing your way back: one mistake, one apology, one moment at a time. As Polina learns to stay sober and start over, she discovers that recovery isn't easy. It's harsh, chaotic, and elusive.

Bad Decade is a raw coming-of-age saga about addiction, identity, and the hard, beautiful work of saving yourself.
