"For those of us wrestling with demons - and who isn't? - Lush is a solace as powerful as red wine."(Claire Dederer, best-selling author of Love and Trouble: A Midlife Reckoning)

When Kerry Cohen reached her early 40s, she realized she had a drinking problem - just enough to blur the edges of her life that had become a monotony of working, carpooling the kids to school, and everyday distractions. What she also realized was that she wasn't the only one.

Lush is a gripping memoir that examines Kerry's struggles with alcohol, a struggle that a rising number of middle-aged women are facing today, as alcohol dependency among females drastically increases. A wonderfully poignant and relatable follow-up to her best-selling memoir Loose Girl, Lush follows Kerry as she attempts to rediscover the awe in her life, leaving mistakes, regrets, and the bottle behind her.

So much of this I could relate to. I liked the approach on drinking and correlation to general life stresses. I read drinking: a love story and thought this was better.

I was expecting more stories and not so much AS / therapy speak. What stories she told were entertaining.

Just Ok

I loved her honesty in the audiobook was well read, however, the general message was lacking and the last couple of chapters felt more like rationalizations.

Disappointing
