Publisher's Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Susannah Constantine, our loved style guru and one half of the outrageously popular television programme What Not to Wear, spent her youth entangled in glitz and glamour. Susannah's very first memoir is filled to the brim with scandalous stories, jaw-dropping royal relationships and star-studded encounters from pop stars to the fashion greats. But beneath it all is a woman who is still getting to know herself, even after falling in love at first sight, presenting one of the most monumental television programmes ever and having Princess Margaret as a second mother figure.

Uncertain of her future, unsure of how to cope with her own mother's tragic battle with bipolar disorder and becoming a mother herself, Susannah is on a journey of discovery, and her memoir tells you her greatest loves and lessons, bound together with disarming honesty and beguiling humour.

Funny, honest and self-deprecating

A really funny and honest assessment of a life born into immense privilege and wealth. She’s a terrific narrator and at times the story is also very touching. My only criticism is that perhaps as an audio book the chapters can feel a little disjointed but regardless it’s fantastic listen

Hilarious and heartfelt

Such a genuine and funny book with great stories about the upper class world. Still recovering from the Princess Margaret anecdotes. Loved her soothing posh voice too. Only complaint is that there was no chapter on the Trinny and Susannah years.

The whole Susannah

A complete expose of Susannah Constantine by her. I love a good autobiographical rant and rave and this certainly fits the bill. A great insider’s view of her time and a very engaging behind the scenes truth of royalty. An engaging read.
