"""A car crash of a memoir of addiction, abuse and sex...Every new anecdote brings a fresh opportunity for disaster: Which character will be arrested or die or nearly die by the end of this chapter? Messy, tense, and sometimes tragic...also darkly funny."" -Jessica Testa, The New York Times ""With her new memoir, Fox has become a writer, telling her story with a kind of dissociated, deadpan sweetness born of having experienced several lifetimes' worth of adventure and disaster by the age of thirty-three...It adds up to a story of a woman who's damaged and tender, protective and unpredictable, a self-identified freak."" --Jia Tolentino, The New Yorker ""Fox's debut memoir spares no one, least of all herself, in its shocking tales...[An] amalgamation of soap opera, Mafia flick and A Star Is Born topped with a heaping of heroin."" --Ilana Kaplan, Los Angeles Times ""Fox's powerful instinct to survive and to harness her own narrative are all over this well-crafted, exciting, shocking, heartfelt, and altogether unputdownable memoir...Fox started the buzz herself, calling her memoir-in-process 'a masterpiece' last year. Her star is rising, and fans will find that buzz utterly deserved."" --Annie Bostrom, Booklist"

In many cases, such as when she recalls her father's physical and emotional abuse, she turns what she endured into a teachable lesson, clearly stating what she learned from the pain."" --Sonia Rao, The Washington Post ""Harrowing, achingly sad at times, and a narcotics-soaked shock to the system. It's also impossible to put down."" --Helen Holmes, The Daily Beast ""Fox's powerful instinct to survive and to harness her own narrative are all over this well-crafted, exciting, shocking, heartfelt, and altogether unputdownable memoir...Fox started the buzz herself, calling her memoir-in-process 'a masterpiece' last year.
