Garnering a vast amount of attention from young people and parents, Smashed became a media sensation in the US and New York Times bestseller. Eye-opening and utterly gripping, Koren'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. Smashed is a sober look at how Zailckas drank from the age of 14 to some horrific results (stomach pumping, memory loss etc), what it took for her to realise she had to stop drinking and it is ultimately a literary debut destined to become a classic.
