This memoir is funny (obviously), but also very honest. It's a great look back on Katherine's career so far, especially how much her success is down to her intelligence, work ethic, and flexibility. It's nice to read about someone who figured out their path along the way rather than following a childhood dream. The stories feel real and inspiring. 100% recommend

I LOVE Katherine Ryan, so I knew I would very much enjoy this book! I marked it as being lighthearted but she does cover some dark, difficult topics as well (e.g. miscarriages, toxic relationships etc.) She does this in her very witty and wonderful way and I enjoyed getting a glimpse into her life. I feel like I’ve been reading very heavy-hitting things lately, so this was a good getaway from that. I would highly recommend this to anyone who’s a fan of her comedy! 🥰

I’m not big into autobiographies and non-fiction, but because I adore Katherine Ryan, I gave it a shot. It’s a funny, insightful, personal account of Ryan’s life. She doesn’t shy away from stories that cast her in an unflattering light and reveals some painful moments that made me cringe or broke my heart. Ryan is like the best friend you didn’t know you needed, the mum you admire, and is strangely relatable. I’m not sure how people who aren’t familiar with her comedy would enjoy the book, but as a longtime fan, it was *chef’s kiss*

As an avid fan of Katherine Ryan, I was excited when she released her first book. You'd think after reading many a comedian book, I'd be used to the revelations and thoughtful anecdotes this genre of book often features. And yet! Katherine shares so much of herself and her story in this book. Some that she has told before and some that she hasn't, but through it all, it's undoubtedly Katherine Ryan - real, straightforward, hilarious, and audacious.

I recommend this book (and all her work) to anyone that appreciates comedy.
