This book is probably the wildest ride I’ve ever been on. And I loved every second of it. First of all Julia has “been on my radar” since before the time with the artist. She has always intrigued me so much but I never thought to research her. This book now makes me respect her even more than anything I could have ever imagined. A woman that has been failed by the (mainly) men in her life so much so that I genuinely felt nothing but pure rage reading many parts of this book. It’s a most honest look into her life, her writing is gut wrenching, funny, wonderful and so so many things. I can truly say it has been an honor to be let into this portrayal of her life. I don’t know how many times I put this book down to genuinely laugh but also to just sob my heart out. I wish Julia nothing but the best. She is one of the strongest women I’ve ever heard of, she can be a role model for many. But yeah at the end I just wish her happiness and freedom. I cannot put into words what this book did to me. Julia, thank you.
brutally honest and uniquely powerful!
I listened to the audiobook and was stunned by her lifestory and the heartache and pain she went through. It is truly a reminder not to believe the tabloids distorted truths and not to feed into their negativity or the bullying they endorse. I wasn't a fan of hers before, but now I can say I have the utmost sympathy for her, and a deep respect for the fight she put up and the person she becomes. I recommend this autobiography to everyone who can deal with dark subjects such as abuse, addiction, losses, and grief.
3,5* Julia Fox ist eine mega interessante Person. Keine Sympathieträgerin, aber eine Frau, die ohne Zweifel viel zu erzählen hat. Die erste Hälfte hat sich gelesen wie ein Coming of Age-Film aus den 90ern. Es war ungeschönt und durchgehend unterhaltsam. Leider hat es mich in der zweiten Hälfte etwas verloren. Zum Ende hin hat mir der rote Faden gefehlt und ich bin mit den ganzen wechselnden Partnern und Freund*innen nicht mehr wirklich mitgekommen. Trotzdem ist es eine sehr gut geschriebene Biografie einer spannenden Persönlichkeit. CN: Drogen und Überdosis, häusliche Gewalt, sexuelle Gewalt, Sexismus, suizidale Gedanken, Gaslighting und sicherlich noch einiges mehr.
