Publisher's Summary

Sinéad has always known that there was a better version of herself lying just outside of her grasp. That if she listened to the right song or won the right (any) award or knew about whisky or followed the right Instagram psychologist or drank kombucha, ever, or enacted the correct 70-step Korean skincare regime, she would become her ‘best self’. 

In My Defence, I Have No Defence raises the white flag on trying to live up to impossible standards. Wild and funny and wickedly relatable, it is one woman’s reckoning with her complete inability to self-improve and a hilarious reprieve for anyone who has ever struggled to be better. This is the comfort listen of the year from Australia’s most exciting new comedy writer.

Don’t waste your time

Had never heard of Sinead before listening to this book..I tried really hard but couldn’t get through even half of it. I really didn’t understand the point of this book. Sinead spends a lot of the time inexplicably listing random things like “cool people” and her thoughts on them. I’m not sure why we are meant to care what this millennial thinks ? I am a millennial should I write a book about my random inane thoughts?
The reference to David Sedaris on the back is beyond insulting to sedaris and his fans. Not once did I even smile at this book let alone laugh. Thank god it was free.
