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. "

      There was some novel recently, well liked, about white women in the south in the early 20th century. Somehow not a drop of racism in all their bones AND they helped save the black character. I felt literal disgust for that book. Way to white wash history and have some white savior shit.
