Gutter Glitter: Memoir of an Addict

About Gutter Glitter: Memoir of an Addict

This is the audiobook-podcast for Kirsten Moore's debut memoir, 'Gutter Glitter'. Each week follow along with Kirsty as she reads a chapter from her book. Blurb: Did you know that guinea pigs are so sensitive that the slightest change in environment can shock them to death? That’s me. I am the guinea pig. Kirsten Moore’s debut memoir Gutter Glitter follows Kirsty as she navigates debilitating childhood anxiety and anorexia, followed by life-altering spinal surgery and subsequent opioid abuse. Her history with mental illness is compounded when she experiences three significant losses within six months. Kirsty uses her sardonic wit and self-deprecating humour to reflect on the absurdity that can come from the most dire circumstances. Ultimately, Gutter Glitter chronicles Kirsty’s evolution from trembling guinea pig to twerking warrior as she reminds us that we are all '100% dat bitch!'
