There is a sentence in An unwanted guest by Shari Lapena:
She glances at her friend. But just look where that got her.
What does
look where that got her
mean?
The fuller text is:
She[Gwen] is a modern young woman. She consider herself a feminist. But she has never been particularly sure of herself, it's a quality that she admires - even envies- in others. she wants to be strong and independent, like Riley. well, like Riley used to be. She glances at her friend. But just look where that got her. Beside her, Riley guzzles her first glass of wine like water on a hot day [...] she [Riley] was always an accomplished drinker [...] Riley seems to emerge from her semi-catatonic state to motion to the young man with the bar cart and says "May I have another?"
