pickI loved every minute of this memoir. You pull so hard for Lara and although she makes many major mistakes, she is so relatable. I wish her all the very best!

pickLoving an addict and being co-dependent are the main topics of Nina‘s story.
She has a sister who was an addict and has a long term relationship with a man who is an addict. She never admits that she herself is an alcoholic she does mention getting sober though and going to meeting. She focuses on her co-dependency.
Interesting look at the non-addict side. Worth the time.
Nina‘s story of loving an addict. Not sure if by the end of this book she realizes she‘s an addict as well, I hope she does.
A lot of references to AA and the beginning of that organization. Which makes sense when talking about addiction.
So far it‘s interesting, a lot of repetitive stuff though. Writing is good.
pickThis was my rescue (I guess my sister bought it for Kindle) when I ran out of books on the plane and the flight left at 23:15. I have mixed feelings about Jennifer Weiner's writing but found this quite enjoyable. I could relate somewhat to her difficult child and financial worries though my situation was never that bad. I did want to throttle her while she was in denial and thinking she was so much better than others, though.
pickAnother graphic memoir hit! This time from comic Julia Wertz who documents her life in NYC as a recovering alcoholic and self proclaimed “weirdo”. She‘s super relatable (as a fellow weirdo) with the difficult social interactions and I loved her “urban exploring” (investigating abandoned buildings) adventures! Wertz also describes the horrible dating scene and some close friendship. I really enjoyed this read..though parts were sad it was hopeful.
bailed1/3 of the way in and I kept asking myself why am I reading a book about four sisters who do not at all seem real. Lots of people and Jenna loved this book, but I gave up. Maybe it was going to get better? If the characters can‘t come alive for me, I‘m just not interested. Farewell Blue Sisters.
pickListen to the audio! Such an emotional roller coaster ride is this woman‘s life. I felt a lot of truth and vulnerability throughout the book and felt connected. I love an audiobook read by the author, especially a memoir. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
