Loaded: Women and Addiction Book

As a woman in recovery and with a "few" years of sobriety under my belt, I was quite frustrated by the author subtitling this Women and Addiction. I will admit that I was anxiously awaiting to hear the author discuss her recovery or at least come to some relief or closure by the end of the book. My heart ached for the author's daughter who unfortunately took the brunt for her mother's free-spirited lifestyle. As for any structure or consistent timeline throughout the book, I found myself having to re-read certain passages over again because the obscure prose in this book lacks chronological rhythm. I found myself disappointed at the end of the book because the $14.95 and the time I spend on this book were purely wasted. I would disagree with the synopsis that is printed on the backside of this book. The only thing that "gets under my skin" is there is no solution that is ever captured. The author recounts her ridiculous flings that sound very self-absorbed and add no substance to this book. Seriously disappointed especially for someone who claims to have a PHD. Various typos throughout the book as well.
