Dry

Young, good-looking and raking in cash as a successful advertising executive, Augusten has everything going for him…except for his drinking. Dry is his hilarious and moving account of coming off the booze and attempting to live his drunken life sober. It’s also a story of love, loss and Starbucks as a higher power.
