Julia FoxSimon & Schuster Down the Drain

While Julia Fox is mostly known for dating Kanye West, she is an artist in her own right. I would describe her as a "multimedia" artist. She has done photography, drawings, "art books" along the lines of zines, and last but not least, FASHUN (OMG Fashun TV show, check it out. Im hoping it gets picked up for a 2nd season!!)She is a great storyteller and allegedly wrote this book independently without a ghostwriter. She describes her life and experiences in a vivid, funny, scary, sexy, and SAD way that hooks you into reading the book and easily finds that you can't put it down.As someone who strives to have a life of character and integrity, I struggle with "supporting" Julia. Like Kanye, I find myself doing my best to separate the artist from the art.Before reading this book, I took umbrage with Julia and the way she acts. After reading this book, I have a much better understanding of WHY she would make the life choices she has or said/says the horrible things she says.****Spoilers from here on ******She comes from a VERY dysfunctional childhood, her parents did not do a remotely good job at being parents and did not provide for her a life of structure, stability, love and safety. She states several times in the book that she shouldn't be alive after the few times she almost died and that is very much true. Her relationship with men is VERY convoluted due to her beauty. Another thing she cites and recognizes. That if she didn't look like the absolutely gorgeous woman she is on the outside, most of the men in her life that have provided for her and she would not have gotten away with so much. Its sad and insight on how "pretty ppl have problems too" AND she can never be sure that men like her for her.I DEF recommend this book and devoured it in about 2 days (I'm ADHD and read rather slow). Im hoping she will write another soon

i really don’t even know where to start. if you struggle with shame, forgiving yourself, or being the oddball—you !!!need!!! to read this. i have found so much of myself in this book. julia’s extraordinary scene-by-scene writing style is very easy to digest and pull the reader in. i have laughed (really hard) and cried (way more hard). witnessing someone create a positive outcome out of almost every major terrible occurrence in her life has been breathtaking, and has completely saved my life. i could write for hours. thank you so much, julia!! i’ll always be in your corner ❤️

Icon in the making. Ottima lettura da ombrellone per la propria Brat Summer
