Susannah Constantine, our loved style guru and one half of the outrageously popular television programme, What Not to Wear, spent her youth entangled in glitz and glamour. Susannah's very first memoir is filled to the brim with scandalous stories, jaw-dropping royal relationships and star-studded encounters from pop stars to the fashion greats. But beneath it all is a woman who is still getting to know herself, even after falling in love at first sight, presenting one of the most monumental television programmes ever and having Princess Margaret as a second mother figure.

Uncertain of her future, unsure of how to cope with her own mother's tragic battle with bipolar disorder, and becoming a mother herself, Susannah is on a journey of discovery and her memoir tells you her greatest loves and lessons, bound together with disarming honesty and beguiling humour.

Critic Reviews

A romp . . . Constantine comes across as a trooper with a filthy sense of humour
Hilarious and honest, sparing neither herself nor her readers from incredibly intimate details . . . A book for anyone who's after laughter, tears and one hell of a rollercoaster ride
Bonkers and brilliant. Her writing is exquisite. With comedy and candour, she bares her soul . . . Magnificent
Absolutely brilliant (Elton John)
Wonderfully written, very funny, but more than anything completely genuine (Lady Anne Glenconner, author of Lady in Waiting)
A rollicking ride . . . What a life
A treasure trove of previously untold stories . . . A riveting read
We lunched better than we danced (Anton Du Beke)
Wildly fun
Sensational, juicy, gossipy, filthy and bravely honest in equal measure, Susannah Constantine's memoir is a rollicking romp through the upper middle classes
All stars

A really funny and honest assessment of a life born into immense privilege and wealth. She’s a terrific narrator and at times the story is also very touching. My only criticism is that perhaps as an audio book the chapters can feel a little disjointed but regardless it’s fantastic listen

Funny, honest and self-deprecating
