This relatively young woman writes her memoir about her relationship with alchohol, starting with her first drink in high school and culminating in her alcohol-ridden college experience. She uses facts about women and drinking and her own experiences. She writes in a wonderfully honest voice. I think young women should read this book.

I get to see that shit in person often enough that I don't need to read someone's maudlin memoir. No matter how much uplifting bullshit she offers, especially toward the tear-evoking end of the book, she's going to be on the "slip up" detox rehab merry-go-round for the rest of her life.
