Visceral and gripping.

Amy Liptrot, author of The Outrun

An extraordinary book – deeply painful and loving.

Adam Kay

[Coming Clean] sheds light on the reverberating effects of addiction and sobriety in this glowing memoir that unravels her experience falling in – and at times, out of – love with an alcoholic ... Fraser illuminates the complexities of loving an addict and why she 'didn't run a mile' when his illness became apparent ... In the end, her wry prose, sharp self-reflection, and affinity for the uncertain reshapes her fraught experience into a nuanced story of resilience. This will be a beacon of hope for those whose lives have been touched by addiction.

Publishers Weekly

A remarkably frank, emotionally charged foray into one woman's battle to come to terms with her partner's alcoholism; a desperate fight to protect herself and her child, and to create a world where they could be enough for one another.

Charlotte Philby

A blistering account of damaged love, that will console anyone who lives with an addict. It's heartbreaking, eloquent and blackly funny. A book in search of the limits of compassion, finding none. An extraordinary achievement.

Rhik Samadder, author of I Never Said I Loved You

Liz Fraser's memoir will break your heart into a million pieces and then gently squeeze it back together. Heart-rending and sad. A wonderful book.
