Ruth Madievsky's "All-Night Pharmacy" is a tale of two sisters trapped in a toxic relationship with each other and drugs. The unnamed narrator of this story has always followed in the steps of her older sister, Debbie. Though their relationship is fraught, she is unable to turn down another drug-fuelled night of partying with Debbie. But things take a turn when Debbie disappears. A new job as an emergency room secretary lines her pockets with drugs to sell, and it's where she meets a new lover who claims she's meant to help spiritually guide the narrator. What's left is a hazy mix of love, sex, guilt, and the trip to the novel's big question: what happened to Debbie?
