i wish this whole book was about drinking, w some sociological or historical bends to it, or even just like 6 ways her life changed when we went sober. as it is, its just a rando collection of not very interesting or insightful anecdotes from her life, why should I care? i feel like she's trying to prove to me that she's smart, and it comes off self-centered and annoying (and also not very smart!). not everyone should write a memoir.

For a collection of essays and memoir I rate this 5 stars. It’s a different scale for different genres.
I started recommending this book even before I finished reading it.
I enjoy her writing style and the things that she shared. She is very vivid with detail and character building. I feel like I was at the coffee shop overhearing people talk about not having any sober friends, out in the mud running, and wandering Paris both sober and tipsy.
Anyways enjoy this book 🙌🏼

“Is it really that hard, being a First World woman? Is it really so tough to have the career and the spouse and the pets and the herb garden and the core strengthening and the oh-I-just-woke-up-like-this makeup and the face injections and the Uber driver who might be a rapist? Is it so hard to work ten hours for your rightful 77 percent of a salary, walk home past a drunk who invites you to suck his cock, and turn on the TV to hear the men who run this country talk about protecting you from abortion regret by forcing you to grow children inside your body? I mean, what’s the big deal? Why would anyone want to soften the edges of this glorious reality?”
I really connected with a few essays in this collection (the quote above is from Enjoli), but for the most part the humor just wasn’t my style. I just want to put this on your radar if you’ve ever thought about reevaluating your drinking habits.
