Iggy & Ace (ATOM Study Guide)

Iggy and Ace are two young, gay alcoholics who live, work and play together, inseparable by design. But when Ace starts to suffer debilitating panic attacks when hungover, he winds up at a gay chapter of Alcoholics Anonymous determined to get sober. Iggy is horrified, convinced that her friend has been indoctrinated into a religious cult, and views his rejection of their shared lifestyle as a rejection of her. Stung, Iggy does everything she can to disrupt his recovery and keep her best friend close, begging the question: Can Ace's sobriety and his friendship with Iggy co-exist?
