This review genuinely stopped me in my tracks. You articulated something I struggled to put into words even while writing it—that healing isn't always about moving forward, and that sometimes the bravest thing we can do is turn around and walk back through the door. The fact that you noted the humor alongside the heaviness means so much to me, because life is both of those things at once, and I never wanted to lose that. Writing about alcoholism and recovery without wrapping it in a tidy bow was one of the hardest and most important choices I made. Thank you for honoring that. Knowing this book might reach someone who feels broken or afraid to look back—that's exactly why I wrote it. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for seeing it so fully.
