    Review of 'Girl Walks Out of a Bar: A Memoir' rephrased: 1) It seems like the author was enjoying some drinks while penning this book! 2) Nowadays, it's hard to find friends who would eagerly join you for a "pre-rehab gathering". 3) Your loved ones won't bat an eye when you confess that you're struggling with alcoholism. 4) It's highly improbable that someone going to detox could manage to contact all their friends and family, both physically and mentally. 5) It's quite surprising to see how supportive and non-judgmental all these people were. 6) I couldn't make it past the first hour of listening.

    The narration of this memoir is top-notch, bringing to life a captivating story. There are plenty of intricate descriptions that delve into the depths of a life influenced by substances. If I had to nitpick, I would suggest adding more insights into the journey of recovery. However, overall, this audiobook is definitely worth a listen.

    Oh boy, there were so many similes in this book! It really got on my nerves. BUT, I stuck with it till the end because I was truly engrossed in the story, even though I thought the writing was just average.

    This memoir is truly inspiring, but it would have been more enjoyable if it didn't include multiple retellings of the same tale centered around drinking, drugs, and deception. Nevertheless, it's important to acknowledge the author's ability to share her narrative in a way that can aid and inspire others.

    I snagged this book a few days back and started tuning in. Just a few minutes in, it hit me that I actually gave it a shot a year or two ago but loathed it so much that I couldn't even make it past Chapter 1. Nonetheless, I decided to give it another whirl and I soldiered through to Chapter 6. First and foremost, the author is seriously narcissistic. She's more concerned about showing off how cool and fascinating her friends are, and how much they worship her, rather than delving into the topic of alcoholism and addiction. Her coverage of alcoholism and addiction is basically just her repeatedly whining about how badly she craved a drink. While there are a few relatable anecdotes sprinkled in here and there, most of her stories and descriptions of her experiences are so generic and dull that I'm left wondering if they're even true. Another thing that makes me question the authenticity of her story is that she slips up and calls her "good friend" Jessica, Jennifer, more than once. This definitely doesn't deserve to be labeled as "quit lit". It feels more like a poorly imagined and poorly written novel. If I keep on listening and my opinion changes, I'll update my review... but for now, I gotta give this a firm thumbs down.

    Let me give you a recap of the entire story in just a few lines. This gal has an insatiable craving for alcohol and makes sure to remind you with every sentence. She's also hooked on Coke, and again, she'll remind you in every sentence. She's a functional drug addict and alcoholic. After going through a divorce, she struggles to get her life back on track. So, overall, you can easily pass on this book. The characters lack depth, and the story itself is quite shallow.

    I absolutely adored this book! I was completely engrossed and didn't want it to finish! Lisa's writing style is incredibly genuine and relatable, even though I don't personally struggle with addiction. The narrator did an amazing job, making it feel like Lisa herself was telling the story. While it can be quite somber at times, it's definitely a worthwhile read!
