Chloe Cherry is releasing a memoir.
Someplace Darkish and Sizzling will launch on Feb. 23, 2027, through Simon & Schuster, the publishing firm introduced on Friday. The memoir will recount Cherry’s time working within the grownup leisure trade to her ascent into the general public eye in Sam Levinson’s HBO drama.
At 18, the actress left an emotionally abusive house in Pennsylvania and commenced working in grownup leisure. Her world shifted when she joined the forged of season two of Euphoria, when Cherry “went from adult-industry outsider to breakout icon, challenging assumptions about who gets to cross over into Hollywood,” per the memoir’s synopsis.
“In Somewhere Dark and Hot, Chloe tells the story of how she survived it all and why she regrets none of it. Shocking, funny, and nakedly matter-of-fact, she dismantles the myths we tell about ‘good girls’ and ‘bad choices,’” the synopsis continues. “In the tradition of Julia Fox’s Down the Drain and Jennette McCurdy’s I’m Glad My Mom Died, Somewhere Dark and Hot is a raw and fearless memoir about girlhood, survival, desire, performance, and the power of owning your story.”
“Somewhere Dark and Hot is the rare memoir that is both intensely personal and culturally significant, capturing the realities of American girlhood, performance, fame, sex, and self-invention,” provides Stuart Roberts, vice chairman, government editor and particular initiatives at Simon & Schuster. “From the moment I read it, I knew readers wouldn’t be able to look away. Like Chloe herself, the book is disarmingly honest, wildly funny, and full of hard-earned truths.” Roberts acquired World English, audio with the writer narrating, and first serial rights from Joe Veltre of The Gersh Company.
Cherry appeared as Faye in seasons two and three of Euphoria, and not too long ago mirrored on the top of the collection in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
“[Euphoria] made me perceive myself in a completely new way. I was, for the first time in my life, appreciated for my mind. I was appreciated for being funny. I was appreciated for coming up with lines. It was the first time in my whole life that I felt appreciation for my brain and not just everything being about, I don’t know — it was so great for me to go through this transformation,” Cherry stated of how the present modified her. “It completely changed my life trajectory forever to realize that I actually am smart enough to do things. It just makes me realize it’s never too late to be what you might’ve been.”
