This book has had a lot of press coverage and focuses on the author's struggles with self-mutilation, mania and depression. Ultimately the book, and the author herself, is a bit of a tease. She is constantly referring to extremely well-known writers, playwrights, actors and so forth, and declaring how she socializes or has affairs with them, but then coyly gives them code names. She does however name-drop lots of other celebrities, including Brad Pitt and Leonard Cohen. The book to me seems a bit self-indulgent and 'look at me'. I wouldn't recommend it. But the cover is gorgeous!
