Loaded: Women and Addiction by Jill Talbot

finallywakingup's review

2.0

I probably should have known by the praise on the back from Wendy McClure that it wouldn't be for me as I couldn't get into I'm Not the New Me either. This book claims to be part expose on women and addiction but really it's a rambling rehab analysis of the author's addictions with no social context and only vague references and half stories about other women she's known who have had addictions in relation to her own story. She writes quite well in places but doesn't give detail where detail is needed and goes into too much detail on things that are dull. By halfway through it just became repetative and I had to force myself to finish it.
