This is an excellent biography of the Warhol star, socialite, and party girl, Edie Sedgewick. It is told in the form of interviews with many of her relatives, friends, and acquaintances. It is very engrossing, but ultimately a very sad story of the descent into drugs and death of a beautiful girl who had everything going for her but couldn't escape her childhood demons. Your heart will break and you will want to reach out to her and help her.
