This book is a delight - very real and very entertaining. – Bob Mortimer
Gloriously unfiltered, hilariously unhinged and utterly unlike anything else you’ll read this year. Harriet’s incredibly moving memoir made me laugh out loud, cringe, reminiscence and think deeply. What a wonderful introduction to a truly singular comedic voice; I remain in awe! – Yomi Adegoke

Devastating and funny as f*ck. I can’t remember when I was last so struck by a voice … Harriet Gibsone is a SPECTACULAR writer – Terri White
Just read this from its giggly heights to its mortifying depths … I feel like I’ve been through something. Something really worth going through. – Frank Cottrell-Boyce
Eye-wateringly honest and all-too-relatable … funny and wise * Observer *
