Not an instant favourite but nice enough for slow sipping.

Dry

Dry

I became aware of this book on the Hello Sunday Morning Facebook group. AB is a good writer. I wouldn’t say that he’s a great or brilliant writer, but he’s smart, sassy and funny. Dry is his alcoholism memoir. It took me a while to get going but today I’ve read the last two thirds of the book. Unlike Running With Scissors, Dry reads like really good fiction because it has an excellent story arc. Like Running With Scissors, it’s compellingly honest. I’d recommend it.
