Smashed by Koren Zailckas

Smashed by Koren Zailckas

Garnering a vast amount of attention from young people and parents, Smashed became a media sensation in the US and New York Times bestseller. Eye-opening and utterly gripping, Koren's story is that of thousands of girls like her who are not alcoholics - yet - but who routinely use booze as a shortcut to courage. Smashed is a sober look at how Zailckas drank from the age of 14 to some horrific results (stomach pumping, memory loss etc), what it took for her to realise she had to stop drinking and it is ultimately a literary debut destined to become a classic.

"Gripping..one of the best accounts of addiction, the college experience, or even what it means to be an average teenage girl." - Entertainment Weekly "Bookstores are flooded with boozy bios by former girls gone wild. This one rises to the top." - People Magazine "Poised and elegiac...Smashed goes down with a slow, genteel burn." - The New York Times Book Review "Brilliant and horrifying." - The Baltimore Sun"

Koren Zailckas grew up in the suburbs of Boston and attended Syracuse University. She lives in New York City. This is her first book.
