Why read it?
3 authors picked Girl Walks Out of a Bar as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I remember when I first saw this title, I wished I had thought of it myself. Though mine may have been, Girl Walks Into a Bar and Stays Way Too Long. Another memoir by a woman who excelled professionally, as she hid her alcohol and coke addictions from herself and others, until it got so bad she couldn’t hide it anymore.
From Carol's list on addiction memoirs I wish I had when I got sober.
This gave me a story that I had no personal experience with—walking around as a successful person during the day (in her case, a lawyer) while managing a secret life of addiction. It’s great storytelling combined with insightful commentary on addiction and I believe was responsible for opening many people to the idea of being high-functioning while also struggling with addiction.
From Anna's list on addiction from a former party girl.
From Marilyn's list on memoirs of drug and alcohol addiction.
