Listened to on Audible, there's no better way as Miriam is the narrator!

Miriam sold me this book when she revealed one of the many little stories in her life on the Graham Norton Show, yes, THAT one! Absolutely hilarious, I just had to buy this.

I haven't got her other 2 books although I adore Miriam, it's just that I've probably heard most of her life story on the tonnes of podcast interviews I've listened to of her talking about her amazing life. And of course her amazing TV series' of her travels.

But this book i guessed was going to reveal lots of the unknown bits, it was all these funny things I wanted to know about and I also couldn't resist its format, just a long list of everything!

The chunk of it is really funny stuff but there's also some serious stuff. I don't agree with some of her political views, but i appreciate them and respect her explanations of them. Me personally, i am a UK Trump supporter and always have been.

I could always tell that Miriam plans to get a swear word in all of her interviews for comedic and shock value with real context and she always delivers. Well she really gets her words out in this book which i realise is for the same reasons but she really wants to make a point that she swears a lot and loves us to know that!

But it always sounds great from her and she does actually admit enjoying swearing and that it is always carefully planned before it's blurted out.

This book is brilliant, i enjoyed every little bit of it and THAT story will always be the most hilarious one for me haha!

I've so much respect for Miriam, there's nobody like her, an absolute treasure.

A Funny Little Gem This One!
