tokiface 's review for:
Drunk Mom: A Memoir
by Jowita Bydlowska
“...I read Drunk Mom with my jaw on the floor, which doesn’t happen to me that often." - Lena Dunham
Exactly that.
This book STARTED with her doing lines of cocaine that she found in a public bathroom and just kept getting worse from there.
I finished this book faster than I've read a book in a long time. It was horrifying and heartbreaking and I felt sorry for her, hated her, and rooted for her. I can't possibly understand drinking that much around an infant but I liked how she didn't sugarcoat her bad decisions. She knew she started out her son's life as a terrible mother and made sure the readers knew it too which is pretty brave. I spent the majority of the book thinking, "this is it! She's finally reached rock bottom!" but nope! I had to keep reading just to see when it was she'd finally decide she shouldn't do this anymore.
I hope she stays sober.
