But when you're climbing to the top, what are you willing to sacrifice?

The Two Kids That Blow Shit Up by Carla Ching

Two decades later, they've weathered the ups and downs their parents' tumultuous relationship and have become unlikely friends. They stand by each other through their own dating woes, rehabs and spin-outs, career re-jiggerings, and epic life fails.
