The book is a wonderful mixture of humor, science and straight talk. \nA little bit about Clare:  \nAfter studying Economics at Cambridge University, Clare spent twenty years in the heady world of advertising, producing global and local campaigns for brands like Kit Kat, Huggies nappies, Barclays Bank, Rolex watches, Persil washing powder, and many, many more.\nClare worked hard and played hard and ended up drinking way too much wine, so she quit drinking and started a blog called Mummy was a Secret Drinker.\nThis blog became a runaway success and led to a publishing deal. Clare's memoir - The Sober Diaries was published in December 2017, followed by a TEDx talk titled 'Making Sober Less Shameful.'\nClare then turned to fiction. Her debut novel - The Authenticity Project - was published last year in thirty-one languages, from Croatian to Korean and Hebrew and spent several weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. \nClare is currently editing her second novel and of course, being \"Mummy\" to three children too. \nI loved talking to Clare all about her experience as she changed her relationship with alcohol and what she's working on now. \nVisit her at www.clarepooley.com","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/zu3PtA3XzNKb2qSH95OKvfAaoixqds182Hao41kpkws/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8wZjY5/NjVmY2Y2MGQ0NmMx/NGNiMzdiZGY0OTMz/OWQzMy5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
