Darling Days

iO Tillett Wright’s narration is a masterclass in authenticity. Her voice crackles with the same restless energy as her subject matter, shifting between whispered confessions and explosive outbursts with effortless precision. The book’s pacing is relentless, mirroring the chaos of its setting—one moment you’re laughing at her self-invented characters, the next you’re gripping the edge of your seat as she descends into addiction. The production is sparse but effective, letting Wright’s words breathe. The only critique? Some scenes drag a little, especially when Wright gets lost in the minutiae of her past. But that’s the point—this isn’t a polished memoir; it’s a survival story, and Wright’s unfiltered honesty makes it unforgettable.
