Zailckas spends most of her time whining about her horribly lonely childhood and her lack of self-esteem. She never really takes responsibility for becoming an alcoholic (even though she never admits she IS one) - instead she blames it on having no friends, meeting pushy "friends", and getting involved in the Greek system. I must have rolled my eyes a million times reading this book. Zailckas needs to realize that even though she has low self-esteem, it doesn't mean it's OK to become a substance abuser. Not worth reading, at all.
