Publisher's Summary

Funny woman, Instagram star, international comedy sensation, and now best-selling author Celeste Barber's Challenge Accepted! is a hilarious and outspoken guide to life, unwanted gas, and how to rock a sexy scar. It's real, like totally, really real.

Actor, writer and comedian Celeste Barber is one very funny woman—not to mention a global social media comedy phenomenon. Amassing more than 3.8 million followers in three years with her hilarious #celestechallengeaccepted pics, she has been dubbed "Australian Comedy Queen" by ABC Online; voted the funniest lady on Instagram; gone on sold-out comedy tours of the US; and won herself fans ranging from Tom Ford and Ruby Rose to Amy Schumer and Dawn French.

In the tradition of Tina Fey's Bossypants, Challenge Accepted! is part memoir, part comedy routine, part advice manual. Calling out our ridiculous obsession with celebrity Instagram culture, Celeste reveals all, including her thoughts on keeping it real, the secrets to love, friendship, family and marriage (oh hai, #hothusband), and how to deal with life's many challenges, like motherhood and what to do when your local bottle shop owner can't remember your name.

Celeste is raucous, real and hilarious. Bring it on.

Editorial reviews

Celeste Barber isn’t your everyday social media influencer. Though she has millions of followers and is known for posting selfie after selfie on her Instagram account, Barber has no interest in showing us her pretty side. Instead, she’s garnered a following by mocking celebrities’ sexy, alluring posts with household objects and a dose of reality.

In Challenge Accepted, Barber brings that same sense of hilarious honesty, sharing the world as she sees it through her delightfully bizarre lens. Delivering the narration in her own signature voice, it’s virtually impossible not to fall in love with her unique take on life, love and the absurdity of it all.

Fair warning: You won’t want to listen to Challenge Accepted in public unless you don’t mind strangers seeing you burst out laughing.

Celeste's story is both laugh out loud funny and heartfelt. A very relatable and down to earth memoir.

Great listen

Really enjoyed listening to Celeste share her own words. She packs so much personality and expression into her reading, and it was interesting to hear more about her life and why she does her awesome Instagram posts. Thank you.

I love Celeste!

I absolutely loved this book. She is so funny, animated, brutally honest, entertaining and tells it like it is!. I was actually sad when the book ended. I could listen to her stories forever. Thank you Celeste and thank you for standing up for Women and the Me too Movement. I love your heart and your beautiful face and body too!. And thanks Arpy for being the best husband to Celeste. You are the absolute best. Xxxx

A great collection of stories from Celestes life that shape the hilarious woman we've all come to love.
