Review:
Oh my, this book was such a blast! It is broken down into 25 short little stories, which made it super quick to read. I kept finding myself saying “I can just read one more” each time I would need to put my Kindle down, which is the mark of a great book! The stories range from laugh-out-loud to bittersweet, and I enjoyed each one. Also at the end of each story is a cocktail recipe, and I bookmarked quite a few to try out myself! Definitely one to read this holiday season!
5 stars
