Description: Drunk-ish by Stefanie Wilder-Taylor From the author of Sippy Cups are Not for Chardonnay, a hilariously candid and refreshingly honest account of Stefanie Wilder-Taylors journey to breaking up with alcohol for good. FORMAT Hardcover CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This "perfect balance of bold honesty and riotous wit" (Shelf Awareness) from the author of Sippy Cups Are Not for Chardonnay explores Stefanie Wilder-Taylors journey to breaking up with alcohol for good. For Stefanie Wilder-Taylor, alcohol was the seasoning that could give almost any activity more flavor—from liquor cabinet concoctions in high school to tequila shots in her early stand-up comedy days to grocery store wine in young motherhood. A drink instantly took the edge off and made even the most difficult adversary (be it a tough crowd in a comedy club or a judgmental PTA mom) not just bearable but fun. As the years go by, Stefanie wonders if her relationship with alcohol is different from other peoples. Is everyone else struggling this hard to moderate? Is it even legal to watch The Bachelor without a glass of white wine? Having spent a lifetime grappling with the question of whether or not she is a "real" alcoholic, one evening brings Stefanie close to the edge of losing it all. Miraculously unscathed, she decides that she doesnt need to dive all the way down to a stereotypical rock bottom before deciding to stop drinking; if sobriety will improve her life, thats a good enough reason to quit. A tender and funny farewell letter to a beloved but toxic friend, Drunk-ish is "a roller coaster of a book. You will love this candid and funny memoir even if youre not sober. Trust me" (Jenny Lawson, New York Times bestselling author). Author Biography Stefanie Wilder-Taylor is an author, TV personality, and cohost of the popular podcast For Crying Out Loud.

Review "[A] vivid, self-skewering portrait of alcoholic delusion and dysfunction…[DRUNK-ISH is] funny, neurotic, and woozily uplifting." —Publishers Weekly"Drunk-ish [is] a brave, entertaining book, with much to say about living in our times … told with wit, intelligence, and engaging honesty." —Kirkus Reviews"Wilder-Taylors inimitable ability to latch onto humor even in the darkest of times is most refreshing. A perfect balance of bold honesty and riotous wit takes the edge off her culpability as she faces startling truths enroute to accepting the empowerment of sobriety." —Shelf Awareness"I relate to this womans journeys in ways that have been a little bit unparalleled …[Drunk-ish] is humorous and human...its the best read ever. I was reading this book and going, is this about me?… I am obsessed with this book. I love it so much." —Drew Barrymore"Written in a hilarious, confessional style…[P]erfect for anyone who has gotten through—or is getting through—parenthood, drinking and everything in between." —Zibby Owens"Honest, funny, tender...a roller coaster of a book. You will love this candid and funny memoir even if youre not sober. Trust me." —Jenny Lawson, New York Times bestselling author of Lets Pretend this Never Happened "Currently sober, pregnant, and working from home, reading Drunk-ish felt like a warning and a memory at the same time. Any alcoholic will recognize themselves in Stephanies story, but so will any parent who loves parenting, and any parent who secretly worries they might hate it. This book is honest in a way thats scary, funny and exciting—like having a therapist whos way too good at their job." —Rosebud Baker, standup comic and Saturday Night Live writer "From the fog of her youthful indiscretions to the trick mirror of mommy wine culture, Wilder-Taylor is relentlessly and often hilariously self-scrutinizing. But even as she states difficult truths, the heart of her story is one of enduring forgiveness." — Meghan Daum, author of The Problem With Everything"I expected Stefanies account of her love affair with drinking, and subsequent sobriety, to be laugh-out-loud hilarious and eye-opening. I didnt expect it to also be incredibly poignant and intimate. Drunk-ish blew me away. Youll want to turn to the person next to you and read passages aloud (I did). Its clever, vulnerable, and real." —Laura Cathcart Robbins, author of Stash"Drunk-ish is raw, hilarious and intoxicating. We ride the waves of self-revelation much as one would a sugar-high--with wild, rollicking glee and the unavoidable crash into a sober and ultimately more gratifying life." —Melissa Bond, author of Blood Orange Night Details ISBN1668019418 Pages 288 Publisher Simon & Schuster Year 2024 ISBN-10 1668019418 ISBN-13 9781668019412 Format Hardcover UK Release Date 2024-02-15 Country of Publication United States Alternative 9781668019429 Audience General Author Stefanie Wilder-Taylor Subtitle A Memoir of Loving and Leaving Alcohol DEWEY 362.292 AU Release Date 2024-02-13 Imprint Gallery Place of Publication New York, NY Publication Date 2024-01-18 US Release Date 2024-01-18 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
