Drunk Girl


Book Description

A NEW STANDALONE title from Samantha Lind in her Lyrics and Love series! NICK Beautiful, broken, and abandoned. The second I see her in my bar, With cover charge stamps plastering her hands, I know what I have to do. Take her home, Get her into bed, Where I know she'll be safe. I do exactly that. Leaving her keys and my number, As I lock the door behind me. She deserves more, So much more. ASHLEY Shattered, vulnerable, and alone, Trapped in a lifetime of hurt, Trying to break the cycle. But he came in, Saved me, From myself, From my circumstances. Showing me compassion, And respect. Proving I am so much more. More than just a pathetic drunk girl.




Drunk Girl


Book Description

When Jake Wesley agreed to cover extra hours at O’Gallaghers, he figured he’d make a few extra tips and head home. Maybe grab dinner and mindlessly watch something on television before falling asleep earlier than his normal two in the morning. But then she came in. And he can’t help but keep an eye on her. What started out as a fun bar crawl with friends, turned into a mess of epic proportions. The very last thing Sophia Burns expected to come out of her friend’s mouth at bar three was that she slept with Sophia’s boyfriend—not once, not twice...but a gross number of times for someone who was supposed to be her best friend. Wanting to forget—and not quite ready to go to her quiet, empty apartment—Sophia finds herself at O’Gallaghers, where she drowns her sorrows. At least, that was the plan. When she wakes in her bed in the morning, all she has is a note. And the briefest recollection of the kind guy with the messy hair. Explore the rollercoaster of emotions, thrilling connections among friends, and the search for true love amidst the vibrant atmosphere of O'Gallaghers Pub in San Diego.

Smashed


Book Description

The day Koren turned fourteen she tasted alcohol for the first time. At fifteen she was piecing together forgotten fragments of drink, men and misplaced clothes. At sixteen she was being carried through hospital doors unconscious. And so it began... Brought up by loving parents in a stable middle-class home, Koren was a sweet and altogether normal child. Yet from her mid-teens until her early twenties, she thought nothing of regularly drinking herself into a state of amnesia. Alcohol became her safeguard and prop, providing her with a self-confidence she couldn't otherwise feel. And whilst drinking to excess was perfectly acceptable, even actively encouraged, amongst her friends, it quickly reached a destructive monotony that bordered on dependency. It took a number of terrifying incidents - from stumbling home alone covered in vomit to waking up naked in bed unsure of whether she had lost her virginity - before Koren could finally say to herself enough was enough and seek help for her problem. Smashed is the shocking but all-too-recognisable story of a young woman coming of age within a society that finds it easier to turn a blind eye to binge-drinking than address the problem head on. Beautifully written and brutally honest, compelling without preaching, this is a book that demands to be read.




Smashed


Book Description

Garnering a vast amount of attention from young people and parents, and from book buyers across the country, Smashed became a media sensation and a New York Times bestseller. Eye-opening and utterly gripping, Koren Zailckas’s story is that of thousands of girls like her who are not alcoholics—yet—but who routinely use booze as a shortcut to courage and a stand-in for good judgment. With one stiff sip of Southern Comfort at the age of fourteen, Zailckas is initiated into the world of drinking. From then on, she will drink faithfully, fanatically. In high school, her experimentation will lead to a stomach pumping. In college, her excess will give way to a pattern of self-poisoning that will grow more destructive each year. At age twenty-two, Zailckas will wake up in an unfamiliar apartment in New York City, elbow her friend who is passed out next to her, and ask, "Where are we?" Smashed is a sober look at how she got there and, after years of blackouts and smashups, what it took for her to realize she had to stop drinking. Smashed is an astonishing literary debut destined to become a classic.




The Drunk Diet


Book Description

With his trademark Rock 'N Roll hair and snakeskin spandex pants, plus a hot rod and a Harley, Lüc Carl fit the part as a bar manager based in New York City's gritty Lower East Side. And life was good for this Omaha, Nebraska, transplant—a talented drummer who originally moved to the big city to pursue his Rock 'N Roll dreams—until, suddenly, it wasn't. Fast forward through seven years of working long hours, bingeing on late-night Chinese food, and drinking excessively; life had found Lüc forty pounds overweight and completely out of shape. But when he turned to the "experts" for advice—reading countless fitness and weight-loss books in the process—he discovered that they all made the same claim: "You can't drink alcohol if you want to lose weight." Lüc decided to take matters into his own hands to transform his body and his life his way—a sort of "f*ck you" to all those so-called experts. Full of charismatic wit and raucous stories about his life, The Drunk Diet will inspire and challenge you to become fitter, healthier, and happier. Lüc's fitness philosophy isn't about following a list of rigid rules or traditional "do this, not that" charts, but gaining a better understanding of how the body works and discovering what you're personally willing to change about your lifestyle in order to reach your goals. For him, that meant trading in the crap he was eating for unprocessed, natural foods and embracing a newfound love for exercise, but never sacrificing his social life (or his love for cold beer). This is the story of how one chain-smoking, cheeseburger-eating, hard-partying Rock 'N Roller—a self-proclaimed "out-of-shape, bloated asshole"—grew into an avid runner and cyclist and, ultimately, a happier version of himself. He will be the first to tell you: If he could do it, so can you.
