About this ebook

Hilarious, heartwarming and inspirational, this is the number 1 Sunday Times bestselling autobiography by comedian Sarah Millican. The funniest book of the year!

*****
'The naughtiest, helpiest, laughieoutloudiest and goodest book I've ever done reading on. Give that girl a banana!' DAWN FRENCH

SARAH MILLICAN'S AUTOBIOGRAPHY WILL MAKE YOU LAUGH, FEEL NORMAL AND PROBABLY SNIFF YOUR LEGGINGS.

Part autobiography, part self help, part confession, part celebration of being a common-or-garden woman, part collection of synonyms for nunny, Sarah Millican's debut book delves into her super normal life with daft stories, funny tales and proper advice on how to get past life's blips - like being good at school but not good at friends, the excitement of IBS and how to blossom post divorce.

If you've ever worn glasses at the age of six, worn an off-the-shoulder gown with no confidence, been contacted by an old school bully, lived in your childhood bedroom in your thirties, been gloriously dumped in a Frankie and Benny's, cried so much you felt great, been for a romantic walk with a dog, worn leggings two days in a row even though they smelt of wee from a distance, then this is YOUR BOOK. If you haven't done those things but wish you had, THIS IS YOUR BOOK. If you just want to laugh on a train/sofa/toilet or under your desk at work, THIS IS YOUR BOOK.

'Of course Sarah Millican's book will make you laugh out loud, but there are moments where she will touch you deeply. The dirty bitch.' KATHY BURKE

It's tricky rating this. It's a perfectly fine book, a fairly quick read, but I didn't find it laugh out loud funny. I tend to read it quickly, but then you don't have the comedic timing. I found it helped if I read it in Sarah's voice. However, when I read some things, it felt like rude comments were just shoehorned in for comedy. It didn't work, looking out of place. HOWEVER, I have listened to Sarah read this on Youtube and it's much funnier. Maybe an audiobook would be better for me.

It confirmed Sarah is as lovely as I'd hoped. I have ADHD badly and can only read more than two sentences when on holiday and sat alone . Bought this on the 2nd to last day and is the only book I've ever finished after getting home (bit of a slow reader unless 297 ADHD requirements aren't met :0) ). That's a bracket, not me smiling with 2 chins. So thanks chuck, it was fun!
