My Review:
OoooOOoooooOo, this was so much fun to listen to. It was like I was sitting across from Brianne with a glass of whiskey, listening to her regale stories of her (i.e. Roxane's) journey from addiction to sobriety. And done in a fun way so as not to feel like a textbook on the rules to follow. From hilarious quips and situations to the cringe worthy. I mean, who doesn't love that butterfly in the stomach feeling that we get at the beginning of any relationship? Who doesn't get complacent and take people for granted sometimes? But how much do you rely on this feeling to satiate what you think you need to feel good about yourself? If you're not looking to yourself to make you happy, then maybe you're doing it wrong.
This roman à clef novel showcases Davis's own intimate experiences through our main character, Roxanne, in her road to finding self love and ditching her destructive patterns. While we may not have this same type of addiction, I'm sure we can all relate in one way or another - I know I certainly can. There's certainly advice to be heeded that would benefit us all. Whether it's staying away from social media to avoid the "compare and despair" spiral (been there) to cutting people out of your life that can trigger you to act in a way you'll feel worse for the wear for later on (done that). Everything is easier said than done - but that does not mean it can't be done!
Thank you, Brianne, for being such an inspiration and providing me with this gifted audiobook.
