Critics Review
An inspirational book - - Daily Mail
An inspirational book * Daily Mail *
A remarkably engaging and fluently written memoir – Stephanie Merritt * The Observer *
Genuinely compelling and very brave * Glasgow Herald *
If the school of hard knocks handed out degrees, Janey Godley would have a PH by now… a harrowing memoir… Godley finds the irony and absurdity in the most godforsaken situations, yet unlike a lot of comics she’s brave and honest enough to reveal her innermost emotions, and it’s this sincerity that gives her streetwise revelations such bite * The Guardian *
Powerful… passionate… poignant… a rising star of stand-up * The Scotsman *
It will make Angela’s Ashes seem like The Famous Five.
