I am a massive fan of Dawn French I think she's one of the most amazing and inspirational women of our generation and I was really looking forward to her autobiography. I loved the way she wrote it, in letters to Fatty, her affectionate name for her best friend, and I was laughing frequently. My favourite letter was the one she wrote describing how good of a kisser various people are. The only reason I gave it four stars was because there was something missing. I have no idea what it was. Maybe I just didn't want it to end. If she releases another one I will defintely be buying it, and I'm also going to read her novel when I get the chance.

Brilliantly funny and so well written. I love the letters format as well, so full of emotion!
