“I love this slim, stunning volume, which I carried everywhere with me during the weekend I was reading it, laughing out loud at some parts, moved by others, and always looking forward to getting back to it. It's funny, smart, moving, and transformative—everything I love in a memoir. Looking forward to more from this author, as this book was such a joy to read.” -Rob Tourtelot

“ From the moment I began this memoir I could not put it down. Julie has one of the most distinctive and original voices I've read in memoirs about quitting drinking--in memoirs overall--and she has a natural flair for sharing her story in a way that makes us laugh with her through the tears. I was cheering for Julie the moment I began to read. She writes with unflinching honesty about her struggles to find her way through dysfunctional relationships, single motherhood and economic struggles, all the while holding fast to her dream to become a writer. This book changed me--and it will probably do the same for you.” - Amy Brown
