by Kristi CoulterI was shocked when I started this--I'd already read it. But I had no record of it and it was worth a do-over, so I continued. And after the first two chapters, I discovered I hadn't.
What appears to have happened is that she wrote the first part into one or more blog posts and I'd read them there. Either a blog or a webpage of some sort. I'd enjoyed it very much the first time and I enjoyed the re-reading and especially the new sections that followed. It's sort of an "episodic memoir." She takes us through parts of her life in whatever order that appeals to her--beginning with stopping drinking, then onto a challenging run up a cliff, sexism at her job, unhappy family life, attending an AA meeting because she wants to find a friend who understands what it's like.
If you want a sample of her writing, go read her hilarious--and strident--post about the Enjoli woman. She's not always this bitchy, but in this case, it's well-deserved. The link below is to a 'listen' site but if you scroll down, you can read it and not get caught laughing with your headphones on at work.
