Summary

Includes an additional new chapter and exclusive Q&A.

Short-listed for the Specsavers National Book Awards 2018 in Autobiography/Biography.

The number one Sunday Times best seller.

So, this is me. Lily Allen.

I am a woman.

I am a mother.

I was a wife.

I drink.

I have taken drugs.

I have loved and been let down.

I am a success and a failure.

I am a songwriter.

I am a singer.

I am all these things and more.

When women share their stories, loudly and clearly and honestly, things begin to change - for the better.

This is my story.

Never believe what you read

I think every woman should read this book, when I told friends that I was reading this book it was exactly as Lilly had said , oh she got fame through her parents. Lilly gives an amazing example of how famous parents can hold you back and her uphill struggles with life. I had to close my ears at time with the language, but very thought provoking book.

Brave, refreshing, empowering.

A liberating, honest look at a human experience in raw detail and how our society filters and shapes that experience.
Real and at times funny, thank you Lily, your gift is your authenticity.

Pleasantly surprised to hear Lily’s story

I had no strong opinions of Lily prior to hearing her book but I thought she read her story so eloquently and with real honesty and grit. I’d recommend it to anyone. I enjoyed it so much and consumed it within 2 days!
