Nothing Good Can Come from This: A Raw, Riveting, and Darkly Humorous Memoir of Newfound Sobriety
When Kristi Coulter 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, Nothing Good Can Come from This, Coulter charts the raw, unvarnished, and quietly riveting terrain of new sobriety with wit and warmth. By turns hilarious and heartrending, Coulter reveals a portrait of a life in transition. "Kristi Coulter charts the raw, unvarnished, and quietly riveting terrain of new sobriety with wit and warmth," praises Leslie Jamison, author of The Empathy Exams and The Recovering. "Nothing Good Can Come from This is a book about generative discomfort, surprising sources of beauty, and the odd, often hilarious, business of being human."
Perfect for anyone who has ever stood in the middle of a so-called perfect life and looked for an escape hatch, Nothing Good Can Come from This introduces a fierce new voice to fans of Sloane Crosley, David Sedaris, and Cheryl Strayed. This frank, funny, and feminist memoir by a keen-eyed observer no longer numbed into complacency is a must-read for anyone navigating the journey of recovery and self-discovery.
