Book Review of Drinking: A Love Story

Drinking: A Love Story

Helpful Score: 3


Interesting and disturbing autobiographical look into the life of a "functional" alcoholic. The book was surprisingly well written and very insightful. At times it felt like the book was written more for the author than for the readers, which I suppose is true for many books, but this book came across as almost confessional. I thought the author was incredibly honest and forthright, and I hope she continues to abstain from alcohol. The author gave some "sobering" statistics (I use the word loosely) about how many folks stay recovered alcoholics.
