"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 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

I agree with the author that the human condition is enough to need a 12 step program . I too have dual addictions .

I related to this book a lot.

Just Ok

the narrator was good but the story was meh. just my personal opinion but I think she was more of a problem drinker with an addictive personality who liked indulgences.

Meh...

This book presents a very interesting perspective on addiction. The author has several addictions, not just to alcohol as the title suggests, so much is covered from a variety of angles. It is well-written and interesting.

The only thing I guess I didn’t like is the moderation part. I think it’s hard to moderate. Especially when u dint have the ability to do it. I also agree with her in AA. It’s not for everyone. I think the constant reminder u have a disease is a downer. I think like she said u have to work on yourself and why u r running to drinking alcohol. That’s the key

Good read
