        Award-winning podcaster Lara (cohost of Recovery Rocks) shares how the many years she engaged in binge drinking and regrettable sex took a toll on her. She wanted to take a different approach to life, but she was terrified that she'd never have the courage to date without consuming alcohol and found dating apps to be scary. This book offers sober-dating advice, but the author is quick to tell readers that she is not a therapist; she describes herself as a bisexual woman in recovery for substance addiction. This work gives readers an insider view on what it means to date and live sober and offers tips for readers struggling with things like body dysmorphia, addiction, and just plain bad dates. Lara's authentic approach may inspire readers to take action to improve their own lives. VERDICT Most relevant for readers in recovery or who are interested in sobriety, but also a revealing read for daters and nondrinkers in general.--Emily Bowles

        Lara, before she was known as The Sober S*xpert, spent her young adulthood self-medicating. Alcohol numbed the pain of past trauma and lowered inhibitions in the present, as people have relied on it to do for millennia. But in 2023, the alcohol-free movement is gaining traction. Zero proof ros�, mocktail menus, and dry bars are easier to find, as is literature about life without alcohol. When Lara quit drinking, there was no manual for how to approach dating and sex without the liquid courage; this is that book, aiming to help young lovers confidently navigate hookups, attraction, boundaries, and bad dates, all without the alcohol. While the absence of beer goggles can seem scary, the benefits of increased emotional and sensory experiences will outweigh the cost, Lara assures. Rather than persuading anyone to quit drinking, this guide is an inclusive road map for those who have already decided to move on from alcohol. Lara's advice is generous, specific, and sure to leave readers feeling validated and excited for the next chapter of their journeys.
