Publisher's Summary

Funny, moving and truthful...Quite.

Claudia Winkleman's warmth, humour, no-holds-barred attitude and smoky eye have made her the favourite broadcaster of millions and a much-loved household name.

In this, her first ever book, Claudia invites us all into her world. This is a memoir with a difference (owing to its lack of a plot - genuinely, how do people do that?) and Claudia shares her observations on topics such as the importance of melted cheese, why black coats are vital, how it's never okay to have sex with someone who has an opinion on your date outfit, how nurses are our most precious national treasure and why colourful clothing is only for the under 10s (if you're reading this sporting a bright red jumper and you're nine, great! If you're older, sorry).

This is a love letter to life: the real, sometimes messy kind. Quite celebrates friendship, the power of art, the highs and lows of parenting and of course how a good eyeliner can really save your life.

Heartfelt, wry and unmistakably Claudia, this book gets to the heart of what really matters.

The updated bible.

Loved every single word of this book. Did not want it to end. Wish this existed in a daily podcast. Obviously still want to be best friends with Clauds even though we will never agree on the wearing of black. Chic and cool on her, ugly, old witch on me!

Fabulously refreshing

I would challenge anyone not to find some kind of reference that related to themselves in this book.Something that we do, feel or say that once spoken out loud by the lovely Claudia makes us decide to stop it immediately. Or if it’s a great trait to embellish it. I loved the honesty, the shear acceptance that it’s ok not to be the stereotype perfect person we often strive to be. It absolutely acceptable to be, well you and you will love yourself for accepting that as will others. This book will be on our book club January choice list many thanks Claudia. Ps loved the Q&A
