Fox admitted in an interview with the New Yorker that the book wasn’t edited, and you can unfortunately tell. Julia Fox is famous for many things: her captivating acting, such as her breakout role in the film Uncut Gems; her trendsetting style, including bleached eyebrows, exaggerated eyeshadow and cutout dresses; her mastery of social media. For six months, at age 18, she worked as a dominatrix at night while going to high school during the day. I don’t wanna give too much of it away because I am very superstitious, so I don’t like to speak of things before they’re finished,” she told Variety.

I would have loved to hear more about her acquaintence with the Safdies but also understand for brevity's sake she couldn't exactly address every single scene she passed through. In one passage, Fox has a miscarriage in the toilet of a bar without knowing she was pregnant, gets back at a fellow dominatrix who peed on her clothes in the dungeon where she works by pouring an enema bag of her own excrement into her locker, and overdoses on various substances multiple times.

Other pages are littered with graphic accounts of domestic and sexual abuse, beginning when Fox is a young child.

She also opens up about her brief time working as a dominatrix, landing her role in the Adam Sandler film Uncut Gems, and later dating an individual she only describes in the book as "the artist" but is clearly rapper West, 46.
