I think I'm DNFing 50 pages in. It seems to normalize alcoholism, she is constantly drinking, she has been drunk or hungover in every scene so far -- skimming reviews, it appears this is never addressed in the book (which would be interesting and is a missed opportunity.) Tired of books that portray drinking as "quirky" and an attractive personality trait. It's about as attractive as smoking. Disappointed, I liked Book Lovers a lot.
