sunset strip mall“a gripping, fast-paced memoir always gets me out of a reading rut. this one is polarizing (which actually kind of adds to how readable it is, because you might find yourself rage- or hate-devouring it) - I think Marnell's flippant writing voice belies how actually well-crafted this book is, because it's absolutely riveting. i've read it twice during reading ruts and both times could not put it down”

Josie“she’s crazy but she’s FREE! her memoir details her… turbulent upbringing/working as a beauty editor in nyc/drug use. she goes through really dark stuff but her creativity and dreams get her through everything… she also narrates the audiobook herself and i enjoyed it greatly”
