Nadiya has been a favorite winner for me of The Great British Baking Show. I cried every time I watched her win, with joy for her and with understanding at the feeling of finally believing and being proud of yourself. You can hear her passion in this audiobook for her past, lessons she’s learned, trials she’s faced, and optimism for what can be. She’s lovely and her words are powerful.

Although the book wasn't quite what I thought it would be, I enjoyed getting to know more about a person I admire. It felt, like a few others I've seen have commented, at if a stronger edit could have cut out some more waffly passages but Nadiya is such a likeable character I read it in no time.

I have adored Nadiya Hussain since THAT speech on GBBO. I will watch her cooking shows even though I find making cheese on toast a challenge.
BUT, I don't think she's a writer. A few pages in and it's already repetitive. In fairness I don't think she could have called her book "Finding my voice" and employed a ghost writer.

Really like Nadiya, so I'm happy to buy any book of hers. But this felt like a kind of therapy for her rather than a book on its own. Like it wasn't quite sure what the point of it was, maybe it would benefit from having been written in a few years with more processing time. Very happy that she feels empowered to talk about these things in her life now though. She clearly can write, bits are funny and it's very honest and brave about it throughout. The idea of the chapter structure was good, not quite sure the sections were distinct enough.
