Down the Drain by Julia Fox
4.0

I'm not sure if I would've rated this as highly as I did if I had read it rather than listened to it as an audiobook, due to how absolutely chaotic it is, but with Julia herself reading it, it makes sense because that's who she is. My biggest gripe was the inconsistency of the passage of time – why did one chapter span five years when most spanned a few months/a year. Also drove me a bit crazy whenever a new character would be introduced with pretty much no context, like where did Harmony come from?! But overall very impressive to me – what a life, and beautiful how vulnerable and open she is in her narration. 3.5/5
