Publisher's Summary

Victoria Vanstone grew up in 1980s England in a happy home full of laughter, booze and a disturbing amount of fancy-dress parties. From her youthful days downing cheap wine at the local park to dodging disastrous relationships and a messy run-in with a firework, her reliable mate alcohol was never far from reach.

Eventually, Victoria found herself in Australia with a husband and a child on the way. After sobering up for her first pregnancy, becoming a boring, bottom-wiping, cleaning machine meant she soon returned to her binge-drinking ways, and had to grapple anew with the habits and beliefs that had gone unchecked since childhood.

Can a party girl put down the pint glass for good?

Incredibly funny and highly relatable, A Thousand Wasted Sundays is for anyone that has ever had a close encounter of the drinking kind. For fans of Rosie Waterland, Judith Lucy, Dolly Alderton and Adam Kay.

This is the most honest sober story ever

I wanted the audio version of this book as I felt I needed this to be read from the Author. I felt like someone read my brain and told my story this book was so honest and relatable, I laughed and cried this is definitely one of the best sober books.

Best book ever

So enjoyed this real story about a girl, teen, and lady who has made some bad decisions and then turned her life around. So well written you laugh, cry and feel inspired! But mostly laugh because of the way Victoria writes, loved it couldn’t put it down, can’t wait for the next one!

Funny, Entertaining and Honest

This was a great easy listen, I love that Victoria is reading her own story. Victoria take you on a very deep and honest journey through her life and highlights the impact alcohol has had on her. I highly recommend this book.

Funny, heart breaking and eye opening!

This book is not only extremely entertaining and funny but also eye opening at the same time. Victorias life story reminded me a lot of my own and I appreciate someone bringing light into the dark world of addiction and the difficult moments when growing up. Certainly many of us have had similar experiences however never spoke about them. I was holding a lot of shame about myself, reading this helped me to feel more compassion towards myself and also towards this talented author. This would be a great read for teenagers to bring more awareness to substance abuse. Funny, heart breaking and eye opening. A must listen 💗

Very average

I wanted to like this. The writing is so basic and ridiculous, and the story is extremely embellished. I'm very happy for Victoria but I did not find her story inspiring or learn anything to assist me in my journey with alcohol consumption.

I'm a nurse and I don't believe most of what I've listened to so far...

I listened to the interview on ABC radio and was interested. Maybe it'll get better..

OK for some

Avoid this book if you are having fertility issues or dealing with being childless not by choice. Every second chapter is about having a baby and being a mother.
Also very curious as to why this review has disappeared and not visible to public…… submitting again..
