This is a semi-autobiographic book where Alex Schulman writes about his alcoholic mother, his co-dependence in relation to her addiction, his family's fear of her passive-aggressive motions, and ultimately about the culmination of all that. It's an interesting read, but to me, I felt as though it would have fared much better with more meticulous editing. At times, it's a horrific read, affecting me deeply. ( )

Utlämnade, rak och ärlig berättar Alex Schulman om sin uppväxt med en alkoholiserad mamma. ( )

Mycket tragiskt att Lisettes liv slutade i alkoholism, såriga och smärtsamma relationer till Niklas, Alexander och Karl-Johan samt en alldeles för tidig död. Moder-son-relationen och medberoendet i missbruket mycket fint och känslosamt skildrat av Alex. ( )
