About this listen

For fans of Really Good Actually and I'm Glad My Mom Died

This is a book about mistakes. And why we should de-flower shame in all its messy, complicated glory...

Hello!

It's Lou here...

I've poured my heart and guts on to the page and shared my soul in this book. This won't be for everyone but I hope it helps the people it does connect with. We all have stories and I think its useful to share them, I think it helps unite us and in some ways it helps us release some shame.

I've been alarmingly truthful and sincere, because I think society would be better if we could all be honest. I've of course used humour too, not as a way to cope (I've processed the darker things that have happened to me), but as a change in pace, some gorgeous light relief, because life is light and dark dancing together in the wind. And I love jokes.

If this is the sort of thing you're after, please pick me up and take me to bed (that's the book speaking so a little joke there).

A wonderfully open, funny and sometimes sad story, which made me feel freed of some of my own bad experiences and inspired me to talk more openly about life's ups and downs.

Lou doesn't hold back

Honest, funny & brave.
All the bits that can make you squirm as they are close to the bone.

I knew it was bound to be good as Lou is brilliant, but I didn’t expect such a rollercoaster of emotions. Beautifully told, real, honest & vulnerable but full of so many funny moments or funny twists on painful memories. Absolutely loved it and no doubt I’ll listen to it many more times.

Heart warming, heart breaking & hilarious

So glad I listened to Loulie telling her story. I think listening to her speak rather than reading the book made for a more emotional and interesting experience. A powerful and compelling book.

Compelling and heartfelt
