Booze! Puns! Fun! This will live on my shelf forever.

Delightful and relatable, as always. Debbie Tung is lovely.

Leigh Stein's The Fallback Plan resonated with me so much, I couldn't resist when I saw she wrote a memoir. Add that it's her way of sifting through an abusive relationship, and I'm all in.

The story alternates among tales before, during, and after the relationship. They spontaneously move to New Mexico, the Land of Enchantment, and from there, it's a downward spiral.

Stein writes so beautifully and honestly. She knows her boyfriend is abusive, but she craves him anyway. She knows she's worth more, but she's afraid of taking a leap. Until she does. And then her life really begins.
