I'm absolutely starstruck, Julia you're my new absolute icon, I went completely spiralling for this, I couldn't stop listening, it really was a masterpiece. The only note I would have is that sometimes characters spawn into existence with no context and are described as her best friends, which is sometimes confusing. Still, absolutely incredible literary achievement here. Julia Fox you're a fucking star.

I don’t rate memoirs but wow, this was an emotional rollercoaster.
There was so much rawness, messiness and just straight up humanity in this.
Also if you can listen to this as audio, listening to Julia read this herself was both hilarious and then absolutely heartbreaking in moments.
Anyway Julia is mother, and I truly only want good things for her.
(Also after reading this I’m so glad bestie is a lesbian now)

The stories she had to tell were definitely entertaining and told a good story. As an author, though, I felt she lacked self awareness and certain narrative strengths in terms of characters and themes and such
She’d keep doing horrible things and then horrible things would happen in turn and she’d be like “why would this happen to me?” And by the end I’m like … you cannot be serious. Like she never learned LOL I feel like when you’re at the point in your life that you’re like “okay NOW I’m gonna write that memoir”, it should be because you HAVE learned something.

Juicy but not well written. Feels like half the book is about the people she slept with and the rest is her glossing over anything interesting. The fish in the bathtub incident, voodoo doll psychosis, psych ward, multiple near death experiences, 2 year marriage to a guy she’d known for 2 months and miscarriage combined probably get less word count than one uncomfortably long and weirdly sexualised story of her aged 14 having sex with her 23 year old boyfriend. Not very insightful or introspective, sometimes it feels like a list of times she’s had sex /done drugs /random friends she’s been briefly obsessed with so I had no idea who was who or what year it was ever. Would probably fuck with this as an a24 movie but it’s crazy to read a memoir that give unreliable narrator
