{"product_id":"smashed-koren-zailckas-9780143036470","title":"Smashed: Story of a Drunken Girlhood","description":"Garnering a vast amount of attention from young people and parents, and from book buyers across the country, Smashed became a media sensation and a \u003cb\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/b\u003e bestseller. Eye-opening and utterly gripping, Koren Zailckas'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 and a stand-in for good judgment.\u003cp\u003eWith one stiff sip of Southern Comfort at the age of fourteen, Zailckas is initiated into the world of drinking. From then on, she will drink faithfully, fanatically. In high school, her experimentation will lead to a stomach pumping. In college, her excess will give way to a pattern of self-poisoning that will grow more destructive each year. At age twenty-two, Zailckas will wake up in an unfamiliar apartment in New York City, elbow her friend who is passed out next to her, and ask, \"Where are we?\" \u003cb\u003eSmashed\u003c\/b\u003e is a sober look at how she got there and, after years of blackouts and smashups, what it took for her to realize she had to stop drinking. Smashed is an astonishing literary debut destined to become a classic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Koren Zailckas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0143036475\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780143036470\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/31\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.28w x 0.65d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.4\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 18\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e103445 \/ Smashed: Story of a Drunken Girlhood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Books for a Better Life - Finalist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/19\/2006 pg. 28","brand":"Koren Zailckas","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43913386950911,"sku":"9780143036470","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_862a0bd9-0135-4436-8dcc-5427198daae6.jpg?v=1680618366","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/smashed-koren-zailckas-9780143036470","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
