About September's read:

**NPR "BOOKS WE LOVE"**
**SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE "FAVORITE BOOKS OF THE YEAR""**
**PUBLISHERS WEEKLY "BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR"**
**KIRKUS "BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR"**
**LIBRARY JOURNAL "BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR"**

"In her keenly observed graphic memoir, Impossible People, celebrated cartoonist Julia Wertz chronicles her haphazard attempts at sobriety and the relentlessly challenging, surprisingly funny, and occasionally absurd cycle of addiction and recovery.

Opening at the culmination of a disastrous trip to Puerto Rico, the first page of Impossible People finds Julia standing stupefied in the middle of the jungle beside a rental Jeep she's just crashed. From this moment, the story flashes back to the beginning of her five-year journey towards sobriety that includes group therapy sessions, relapses, an ill-fated relationship, terrible dates, and an unceremonious eviction from her New York City apartment. Far from the typical addiction narrative that follows an upward trajectory from rock bottom to rehab to recovery, Impossible People portrays the lesser told but more common story: That the road to recover is not always linear. With unflinching honesty, Wertz details the arduous, frustrating, and hilarious story of trying and failing and trying again."
