Kristi Coulter inspired and incensed the internet when she wrote about what happened when she stopped drinking. Nothing Good Can Come from This is her debut audiobook--a frank, funny, and feminist essay collection by a keen-eyed observer no longer numbed into complacency.

When Kristi stopped drinking, she started noticing things. Like when you give up a debilitating habit, it leaves a space, one that can’t easily be filled by mocktails or ice cream or sex or crafting. And when you cancel Rosé Season for yourself, you’re left with just Summer, and that’s when you notice that the women around you are tanked—that alcohol is the oil in the motors that keeps them purring when they could be making other kinds of noise.

In her sharp, incisive debut essay collection, Coulter reveals a portrait of a life in transition. By turns hilarious and heartrending, Nothing Good Can Come from This is perfect for anyone who has ever stood in the middle of a so-called perfect life and looked for an escape hatch.

This book had some weird segways. And the author kept saying “you” when she was actually talking about herself. I found it weird

The author said she was diagnosed as a genius. Maybe my intellect is just too low for this book. Either way I couldn’t finish it as it was just simply oddly written

Odd

guys if you're newly sober this book isnt really about alcohol. it's a rambling biography, sometimes funny. often unnecessarily crude, as if it's trying to find new edgy territory. there is none.

sort of ok
