Drinking: A Love Story by Caroline Knapp

4.0

Well written, having powerful prose and beautiful phrasing, this book surprised me with how quickly I got tangled up in her web of alcoholism. It reminded me of [b:Blackout: Remembering the Things I Drank to Forget|23341862|Blackout Remembering the Things I Drank to Forget|Sarah Hepola|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1423750824s/23341862.jpg|42901339], [b:The Glass Castle|7445|The Glass Castle|Jeannette Walls|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1523542886s/7445.jpg|2944133], and [b:Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail|12262741|Wild From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail|Cheryl Strayed|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1453189881s/12262741.jpg|17237712] - three of my favorite books, not because of addiction, but because of the firsthand accounts of these women overcoming the odds and making their own way, despite being put down by their families or their situations.
