A review by plantonic_friendships
Dry by Augusten Burroughs

dark emotional funny informative reflective sad medium-paced

4.75

Surprisingly lighthearted despite the content. He was raw and honest - truly honest. As in he wasn't afraid of being the villain; showing us those unsavory thoughts and decisions we all have. Really refreshing candor and authentic portrayal of his life and the struggles in it. All with a sardonic humor that I would like to see more of. Often, it is clear that a memoir was edited and cleaned up for palatability.

A very human look at addiction, layered with a queer perspective.
