Very basic information

Revisado: 06-03-24

Okay if you've never single read a single book about mental health or psychology. Very very basic information. Literally at one point recommends drinking milk to get calcium, and there's an entire chapter on how to get into a 20-30 minute a day exercise routine and why that is important. Purchased with cash rather than credit so non returnable. Major disappointment.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I had to pause it on the bus to work several times because I couldn't contain laughter.

Any additional comments?

I've followed Wine About it for a long time. I honestly didn't have huge expectations for this book, but Matt can write. I have read dozens upon dozens of memoirs, and this is easily a new favorite. I can't recommend enough.

SO glad they finally recorded the unabridged version. I have purchased and given away this book countless times. All women should read.

Fanscinating and sad

Revisado: 04-06-17

I could not stop listening. Great narration and a riveting account of meteoric rise in the fashion industry. I am not a "fashionista" but I still loved it.

Relevant for women too

Revisado: 10-03-16

A majority of the illustrations were for men who are dating. I am female and married so I didn't relate to that specifically. That being said, there was great advice on self acceptance and self love. Mistakes and failure were basically not acceptable in my family. The source of most of my anxiety.

My life story?

Revisado: 09-28-16

What did you like best about this story?

I identified with almost every aspect of her life. I'm a 30 something professional with a group of 30-something professional friends. We're all upstanding citizens, but we are all hard partiers (on weekends). No one at work would ever suspect this about me. I feel like I live some kind of double life.I didn't start drinking in my teens, like the writer did; nonetheless, the party lifestyle is growing tiresome and I want to take a break. I cringed at all of the reactions she received from her friends, because they're pretty much what I'm expecting to hear from mine. Ugh.The ending of the book got a bit off in the weeds, but it did illustrate how she worked through a very sad time without using alcohol as a crutch. Her reporter side definitely shows, and there are a lot of studies cited with regard to the negative affects of alcohol on the body and brain. The immortal child in me likes to ignore these kinds of reports, and I appreciate being made aware of them while I am a captive audience.A good reminder that we're not getting any younger. I think it this book will be a great source of moral support during my own "time off".
