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! 🥰
