Raw, unapologetic, and absolutely insane.

At first I was sceptical because a lot of celebrity memoirs are ghostwritten. But halfway through the first chapter, I knew for sure that only Julia Fox could've written this.

I admit, I've misjudged her this whole time which was mean of me. I always liked her, I enjoyed her mannerisms, interviews and Instagram posts but I never thought she held much substance. 

This book proves otherwise. Julia was raised in a dysfunctional household split between Italy and America. In New York, she lived with her dad while her mother, little brother and grandfather stayed in Saronno, a small town near Milan. Due to a lack of a maternal figure, and her father screwing around with her best friend's mother, Julia consistently ends up with the wrong crowd. She is already sexualised as an 11 year old, and she matures sexually very early in her adolescent years.

Her years spent as a drug addict with toxic and abusive lovers, relapsing, trying to hold her own are illustrated vividly. She has a stint as a dominatrix, ends up with a sugar daddy, loses friends, gains new ones and consistently makes one bad decision after another. 

As the book progresses, you do get recurrently vexed by her mistakes and sometimes she does sound somewhat conceited. But you start to appreciate how honest she is in telling her story, and you develop empathy for her because of how much she's gone through from such an early age.

This was entertaining from the get-go and perfect if you would like a memoir that's pretty heavy but doesn't feel like it. It just feels like you're listening to a wild friend telling you everything about her life.

She's everywhere, she's so Julia.
