I know this is probably a common topic. For me, I’m not sure if it’s a “trope” or just totally misinformed writing, but it’s how many authors approach alcoholism. Some examples are Girl on the Train and The House Across the Lake, among HUNDREDS. If anyone else here has struggled with alcoholism, you know it’s not just "i woke up after downing an entire bottle of whiskey but was able to shower, down a cup of coffee, and solve a murder. "

    I really hate when the biggest moment in a book seems to be spread out by three chapters. I get it, we are following several story lines. I get they will intersect. I do not at all care about the 3rd most important line when the main character just uncovered XYZ!
