Genre: Biographies & Memoirs
Book Type: Paperback

Helpful Score: 6


What I found so amazing about this book was Augusten's unapologetic honesty. He shares things with strangers (us, the readers) that most people would prefer to not even face. My husband is a recovering alcoholic and I learned things about his struggle that I had not known because he had chosen to keep them inside.

This book gives hope while taking the reader on a roller coaster ride of his struggles, triumphs, more struggles and more triumphs. I felt like I was righ there during some of the most heart-wrenching moments of this time of his life.
