I really enjoyed listening to the authors journey to sobriety. It’s definitely hard to discover that you don’t drink like everyone else or can’t handle it like “normal people”. While I haven’t personally experienced this, I know many people that have and I see their struggles - from their drinking time to their sober time.
Even though this book has the underlying theme of drinking versus sobriety for the author, it’s also relatable to anyone. And I mean that. Anyone. We’ve all had struggles with getting jobs, the pay we deserve and other workplace issues and they’re all touched on here. It takes these serious and hard to discuss topics and does it in lighthearted and funny way while still emphasizing how important whatever we are dealing with is - even if it’s just important to us.
The audiobook is read by the author (which yes please - nonfiction read by the author is the best!) Since she reads it herself, we get the feelings and emotions that she felt during these times and it’s fantastic.
Thanks to NetGalley for the access to the audiobook. It was great.
NR since it’s a memoir!
