So this book is pretty heavy and dry. It took me a little while to soak it up. I feel like I’m making alcohol puns without meaning to haha so I had already made the decision to quit drinking a few weeks before I got this book. So although we are warned it would be repetitive to help the points sink in, it was just a bit too much for me. I actually expected a warmer, wittier book after listening to the authors podcast. But it’s important. It really digs in to the mental and physical tolls alcohol takes on our bodies and the way these points are discarded in society. I did learn a lot from this book. But found it to be a bit of a lecture. And although I won’t touch alcohol again I kept getting annoyed with how the author would state she doesn’t like rules in one breath but say no alcohol at all in the second? Just rubbed me up the wrong way. All in all I would still recommend and would advise to read slowly, which I think the author herself recommends. I do agree with all the points made in this one. Be kind to yourself ❤️
