Insightful

Good stuff! I felt this was very closely associated with Catharine Gray’s “The Unexpected Joy of Being Sober”, which Millie refers to frequently. But nonetheless, a great reminder of analyzing our relationships with alcohol and having the courage to leave it behind.

Truly life changing

This books changed my entire relationship with alcohol. A year later I am happier than I ever have been as an adult

Relatable to a T

The personal stories Millie shares, I know all too well, but it makes it so much easier to read when you know you’re not the only one. 10/10 recommend if you’re sober curious

Great book

This book was a very good read! I recommend this book if you are struggling with Alcohol!

Excellent take on drinking culture through feminist lens

This was an excellent read. It allowed me to take a step back and consider why I drink and whether my relationship with alcohol is unhealthy. It provides great tools and advice for going partly or fully sober.
