3.5 stars. There were chapters that were highly entertaining, while others felt a bit boring. It was interesting to read Alexandra's story and how she was forced to grow up too soon due to her mother's decisions.

Don’t Call Me Home is straight up, heart wrenching and funny. Alex is the daughter of a Warhol superstar, they live at the Chelsea hotel and her family are lovable and understandable. This is the story of a solo mum coming to terms with trauma and creating her daughter’s trauma along the way. There’s a lot of grimey New York, grimey sleeze men, grimey squats etc but it’s interspersed with an 2023 perspective and patience for fraught relationships and situations.
