Boyt is the daughter of Suzy Boyt and artist Lucian Freud and great-granddaughter of Sigmund Freud. Boyt was educated at Channing and at Camden School for Girls and read English at St Catherine's College, Oxford, graduating in 1992.

She returned to university to do a Masters in Anglo American Literary Relations at University College London studying the works of Henry James and the poet John Berryman.

To date, she has published six novels. In 2008, she published My Judy Garland Life, a layering of biography, hero-worship and self-help.
