Join us as we go down the drain (metaphorically speaking) with the teenage dominatrix turned it-girl turned actress turned Kanye side piece turned fashion icon turned New York Times bestselling author Julia Fox. If you prefer trigger warnings for sensitive topics like child abuse, eating disorders, and sexual assault, just know that whatever triggers you is definitely in Julia Fox’s book. Also, if you expect this memoir to lean heavily on Kanye or fame in general, think again. In the grand tradition of films like Thirteen and Times Square, Down the Drain is mostly about obsessive, and at times, destructive female friendships. What more could a girl ask for?
