Sue Perkins has great comedic wit and this book gives background to her upbringing and what she did before the Great British Bake Off. I would recommend to anyone who enjoyed her and Mel as the hosts of GBBO. Very enjoyable and fast, funny read.

thanks

Es braucht viel, bis ich beim Lesen laut lache, aber dieses Buch schafft es regelmäßig! Toll geschrieben, intelligent, spannend, einfach witzig.

This is quite simply the funniest book I have ever read. Entertaining, honest and moving from beginning to end. I especially loved Sue's relaying of a bout of extreme road rage - we've all been there. Many laughs and the occasional tear as well.

Hardly a surprise but i read this cover to cover in one sitting. A brilliant read, beautifully written, it had moments that made me laugh out loud and ones that made me ache in sympathy. Although a long-time crush, now i'd just like to sit down over a pint or a large coffee and generally natter the hours away with Ms P. I liked that the book gave little windows into her life but didn't bare her soul. Sue Perkins has never struck me as a theatrical luvvy or a disaster strewn celesbian and i was glad the book didn't change that view. She has managed to tell a lot of stories whilst retaining essential privacy and that takes real writing skill. There is no doubt she is extremely intelligent, very funny, and something of an overgrown toddler in some ways, but she also comes across as being completely normal, in and out of relationships, and with her friends and family, and that is so refreshing.
