Suggest me books where people's lives get progressively off the rails throughout the book. Can be either fiction or memoirs. For example characters getting more and more caught up in crime, addictions, an increasingly intense web of lies etc.

down the drain, by julia fox
Art Pepper’s autobiography
My Year of Rest and Relaxation
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
These Violent Delights by Micah Nemerever (an underrated gem that I truly cannot recommend enough for this prompt)
Idol by Louise O’Neill (most grounded in reality/most neatly fits your ask)
The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt
The Unconsoled by Kazuo Ishiguro (more like a downward spiral in terms of the narrator’s sanity)
Definitely second The Goldfinch
Demon Copperhead
The Coin by Yasmin Zaher
