Hilarious, wise and heart breaking. Like an all-night over-share with your best friend.
Rachel is one of my favourite comedians. This book is warm, wise and hilarious. It is written in her comic voice - a voice she mainly has used to tell me off, so I am thrilled to see it deployed in this way.
Warm witty and wise
Funny, sad, joyful, and wise, something everyone should have on their bookshelf
