Down the Drain by Julia Fox

Controversial: I’m compiling a list of books that are better in audiobook version versus physical book form. Examples: Kitchen Confidential, Nora Ephron essay collections, Britney’s memoir. Let it rip.

The writing, the stories, the lore. Just WOW. Just like Britney’s memoir, this book was so eye opening & really gives a good glimpse of what celebrities’ lives are really like. Reading the physical copy could be cool, but I highly recommend the audiobook, as the queen herself narrates it. You can truly feel the emotion in her voice as she reads through her own life journey.

I’ve heard so many people say they started this as a hate read and then became absolutely transfixed by it. I can’t wait to listen

Swallowed this whole! Raw and tender. Also appreciated the Britney memoir. Kudos to her ghostwriter!

Question - how was the quality of the writing, in your opinion? Uncut Gems is one of my favorite movies, so I would be open to reading this, but I didn't really know if that was a compelling enough reason. Thoughts?

“I love a memoir as an audio book. Julia’s is everything you love about a memoir—juicy, emotional, soul-baring—while also at points listening like a gossip girl episode. It feels true, but there are moments, constantly, of “I cannot believe that happened.” Julia narrates, and it feels like a juicy, juicy gossip sesh.”
