Julia Fox, who exploded into fame as Josh Safdie's muse when he wrote 'Uncut Gems', really delivered on the promise of her first book, of course. And after she came out this summer ("so sorry, boys"), it's officially fair game for this qweer book coven, so this month, we're reading Down the Drain !!!

The memoir chronicles Julia's tumultuous journey beyond the headlines. Her lore includes, but is certainly not limited to: an impoverished, dysfunctional childhood (like drinking cough syrup when they ran out of candy at home); a helluva lot of drugs (like mistakenly rubbing cigarette ash on her gums while looking for cocaine residue); a long list of boyfriends, each competing to be worse than the last (like the dealer whom she tries to help evade Interpol and continues to stalk her from Rikers); not to mention the throwaway anecdotes that are truly stranger than fiction (like getting slapped in the face by a priest at the Vatican in front of the dead pope) — dating Kanye West is the least interesting thing that Julia Fox has ever done.

The raw honesty of her memoir, outlining her struggles with abuse and addiction so vividly, is a testament to the way she lives her life with integrity to herself. Beyond the chaos — and trust me, there's heaps of it — is a deep vulnerability, one she taps into to confront the contradictions of her public and private selves. It's a genuinely authentic story of her improbable evolution from grade-school outcast to fashion-world icon.

And it's a masterpiece, if I do say so myself.
