Summary

'I'm just a nitwit girl who's sort of stumbling through life learning that we all have our own roads to walk - but that it's still valuable, and rather lovely, to hear about other people's journeys....'

A warm, illuminating memoir full of wit and wisdom that doubles up as a life guide for millennials - by Irish YouTuber Melanie Murphy. Growing up in an online age, becoming an Internet sensation with half a million followers on her YouTube channel, Irish girl Melanie Murphy's journey has been far from ordinary.

Here, in her first audiobook, she shares the ups and downs of her life. From dealing with online bullying to living with anxiety and eating disorders to coping with acne and coming to terms with her sexuality, Melanie shows us how through difficult times we can learn the most about ourselves. And that by learning to value and love ourselves, we can overcome whatever life throws at us.

Amazing book, amazing Woman

I adore this book and went to the book signing in London and the writer is honestly so genuine and lovely.
This book is so well written and set out and I don't think you just have to be a fan of Melanies to read this.
It touches on a lot of topics such as Eating disorders, the internet, love/dating, body dismorphia, family life, social media, sex etc.
Really recommend you read this!!

I didn't want this book to end

I usually just stuck to fictional books and I'm glad this time I didn't, I loved every bit of this book and teared up at the end when I realised it was finished. I can't wait to see more from you Melanie!

Mel is a delight to listen to!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book/ narration from Mel. I enjoyed all the topics she covered. Not only out of common interest but also out of curiosity of what Mel is like as a person. She narrates as though she's been friends with her readers for years and years.

Life-affirming

Holy moly, I loved it. The author is such a warm person that it translates into the book. I took a lot of notes and will be coming back for more wisdom.

PS I listened to the ending on a bus, which resulted in ugly public sobbing. Thanks Mel<3

I now love Melanie even more

Warm, entertaining and heart wrenching at the same time. I've learnt things I never thought I would about Melanie. I've cried, laughed and had my mind fed throughout this book. Highly recommend.

Such an easy listen 💕

I recently found Mel’s YouTube channel last year and binged through so much of her content. During lockdown it felt like I was just hanging out with a mate whilst going about my day to day. When I realised she had two books out I knew I had to get it. So much great advise and so easy to listen to as I go out on my walks and get lost in many of her stories. My next read will be her second book “If Only” xx
