12.4.2022 - Drinking Games

Drinking Games by Sarah   Levy

Many thanks to NetGalley, St Martin's Press and Macmillan Audio for gifting me both a digital and audio ARC of this memoir by Sarah Levy - 5 stars!  I started reading the digital copy but switched to the audio because the author narrated it - love listening to an author tell her own story.

Sarah Levy was 28, living in NYC, and was an alcoholic even though she wouldn't have given herself that label.  She was like many millennials feeling that she always had to be on her best game, in real life and in social media, and couldn't imagine navigating life without alcohol.  Until too many blackout incidents made her take a hard look at her life.

This was a look into Sarah's experience with alcohol and it was honest and real.  But it was never preachy - Sarah told her story before and after alcohol and how life looks now.  It's a tale for anyone with an addiction or even a drive to constantly be bigger and better instead of living.  Add to all that, it was a well-written, intriguing story and tough to put down.  Highly recommended!
