Smashed by: Koren Zailckas

Review:  For a story about a young girls struggle with alcoholism it almost brought me to drink.  It was painfully slow.  The only thing that kept my interest was that this girl attended Syracuse University, where I am also an alum.  So I knew what bars she was talking about even without her being able to say their names. Other than that I probably should have called it quits on this one, but I pushed through hoping it would pick up.  Instead I wasted my time and money reading about a girl who did nothing but get wasted.

Synopsis: Girl starts drinking at 14, attends SU where it gets worse, graduates, and quits drinking. Boring.
