About this listen

The real Bridget Jones. Bryony Gordon survived her adolescence by dreaming about the life she'd have in her 20s: the perfect job; the lovely flat; the amazing boyfriend.

The reality was something of a shock. Her Telegraph column was a diary of her daily screw-ups; she lived in a series of squalid shoe boxes; and her most meaningful relationship of the entire decade was with a Marlboro Light.

Here in the Sunday Times best-selling The Wrong Knickers, Bryony busts open the glamorized myth of what it means to be a young (perpetually) single girl about London town and shares the horrible and hilarious truth. The truth about picking up a colleague at the STI clinic; sinking into debt to fund a varied diet of wine, crisps, and vodka; and how it feels when your dream man turns out to be a one-night stand who hands you someone else's knickers in the morning.

Bryony's wonderfully ridiculous and ultimately redemptive story is essential listening for everyone whose 'best years' weren't quite what they were expecting....

Loved it, even though I'm a bloke. It was funny and sad but mostly funny. I laughed out loud on several occasions whilst listening on my headphones, drawing some strange looks. The narrator told the story very very well.

I'm a huge fan and followed of Bryony Gordon, I regularly read her and her mum's column and have followed her career for a long time.

This book is easily relatable to anyone in their late 20s, as Bryony documents and details her own versions of stories and lessons many of us have learnt over the years. From threats of bailiffs, to falling for the wrong guy and having to learn to handle our intoxication and substance levels.

It's funny, well performed and engaging and fun. I would recommend.

Chaos and custom made delight

This is basically a literary chick flick. After listening to some quite dark and heavy books over the past few weeks, ‘Wrong Knickers’ was the humorous light and easy read I needed and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I am looking forward to reading more books by Bryony Gordon!

Easy reading/ listening and light relief

Came to this after reading her book on giving up alcohol, which I found brilliant. This however is honest but far more "chick lit" and Bridget Jonesy. Full of unnecessary superlatives and over written. Perhaps the narrator was too immature In her delivery

Could do better
