'Lauren McQuistin's work is irreverent, provocative, delightful and very funny. It captures the bizarre, delightful highs and lows experienced by the alcoholic or addict in recovery: acknowledging the dumpster fire of a life one leaves behind, restoring oneself to sanity, the struggle for intimacy, and so on. Lauren is an important voice and a rare talent. I'd read anything she writes' CAT MARNELL, author of How to Murder Your Life

'No Lost Causes Club will be a beacon for a generation of readers who have come to the false conclusion that they are broken beyond repair. With the warmth, clarity and humour of a friend, Lauren McQuistin generously shares her own story and the insights she has gained to show us how an inconceivably better life becomes possible. This book is not just about sobriety or just about recovery; it is an invitation to hope' SHON FAYE, author of The Transgender Issue

‘A stunning, seriously sick and profoundly well work. I love the intricacies of sanity, and how it can look so crazy. This book had me laughing and crying. Truly brilliant’ MARGARET CHO, author of I'm the One that I Want

'I love this book so much. Lauren McQuistin is just the friend you would want to meet on the road to addiction recovery – funny, smart, relatable, realistic, humane, encouraging, and, best of all, unrelentingly honest. I hope this book finds its way into many, many shaky and deserving hands' ELIZABETH GILBERT, author of Eat, Pray, Love

‘Brilliant… a memoir about addiction and recovery, which I’m sure will speak to lots of young people who have struggled with substance abuse. Lauren is an incredible writer, she’s also utterly hilarious' VICKY SPRATT, author of Tenants

‘This book really is for anyone who has a relationship with alcohol they want to question: I think there's something in here for everyone. Lauren is absolutely hilarious and although she's been through some very difficult things, she talks about it with humour, grace and warmth… really enlightening and really fun' DR ALEX GEORGE
