Levy’s book is vulnerable and honest, a great read for a person wanting some content about sobriety from an individual’s perspective. Narratives about alcohol use and sobriety centered about women are certainly lacking!! However, as other reviewers have mentioned, the book is repetitive in a way that doesn’t add to its impact. It starts to lose some momentum 2/3 through as the focus turns to Levy’s relationship, and I found myself losing interest as details around wedding planning became plentiful. However, I could see this content being important to a cis het white woman reader who has not yet seen the parts of life she cares about depicted in relationship to sobriety before. For me, I picked up this book to hear a first person recovery narrative, which I feel was very well represented in the first half even if I could have done without the last quarter.

A collection of essays about the authors relationship with alcohol and her journey to sobriety.
Thoughtful and accessible and entirely non judgmental.
While the essays are ordered to provide a narrative feel there is a bit of repetition as some “chapters” overlap and share the same anecdotes or information.
I listen to this from start to finish so that might be less noticeable if you’re consuming this in smaller pieces.
