What a mess! And yet, impossible to put down! The most addictive kind of junk food read--I gobbled it up, but had a distinctly queasy feeling afterwards. The book is filled with surprising gossip (Why the Queen Mother was called "Cake" by her friends), literary hijinks (the author's stepfather was Robert Lowell), and some great anecdotes sprinkled amongst the visits to rehab and tales of increasingly impossible men. Ivana Lowell may be the quintessential poor little rich girl (and she really show more did have a hell of a life), but she tells a damn good story and knows how to poison her arrows with just enough of that satisfying sting. show less
Sturm und drang, childhood neglect, alcoholism among the wealthy, titled British upper classes and much name-dropping.

People who escape into addiction really can't give a very clear -- or very interesting -- depiction of their lives.
