I finished listening to Smashed A Story of a Drunken Girlhood by Koren Zailckas. It is an autobiography of the author. (I have a long list on Overdrive. I’m going to try dwindle down that list so this is one of the book on my list.)
Warning: there is some cussing and a few sex scenes.
Koren started drinking at the age of fourteen. (I was 19 when I first drank. It was a wine cooler.) The reason she got into drinking was because her best-friend handed her the bottle (it was whiskey).( Her best-friend reminds of a girl I knew.) She drank all through high school, college, and some adulthood until she finally quit at the age of twenty-three. She drank to get drunk. (I don’t.)
Even though it’s sad, I did like this book. Now I’m reading The Wind Through the Keyhole by Stephen King. It is a standalone book of the Dark Tower series.
You can get this book at Wordery.com, Kobo.com, and Downpour.com.
My first drink was also a wine cooler 😛 This sounds like a book about a serious, important topic. Glad you liked it!
