Prepare to laugh when reading this memoir. Just when Celeste has you in stitches, she hits you right in the heart.
I had never heard of Celeste Barber before hearing about this book. When I did hear about it, I still didn’t look her up, not really having clued in yet that she is an actual Instagram sensation and not someone who wrote a book about a main character who is an Instagram sensation. I just knew the book sounded right up my alley, both funny and thought-provoking. I was correct on all counts. Ms. Barber will make you cry, make you think, and most of all (her main goal), make you laugh.
Again I stopped reading this book, nd would not recommend.
Celeste is the best. I learned so much about this Instagram phenom, in addition to all the Aussie Lingo! I giggle and blush a little every time she mentions #hothusband. She knows every woman in the world fantasizes about him. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I feel certain she and I would be besties. LOL
She is amazing! I love her. So funny and light. Fun to read.
Celeste Barber is by far one of the funniest women on Instagram. It follows through to her book. I read the book and it was like she was narrating it my head. The book is hilarious and definitely has some emotional and very touching moments. She is there in the book, her personality shines right through. She is inspirational in her comedy and someone I will continue to following. Thank you netgalley and the publisher for generously providing me a copy of this book.
Witty, funny, authentic, unapologetic, hilariously vulgar and delightful. The author kept me in stitches through the entire read. Each page packed full of personality and real authentic discourse.. I would love to meet and know this delightful lady from down under. I truly enjoyed this read from cover to cover. As she tells you the story of her life, it feels like she is writing about a soap opera character. She doesn’t care what you think and has no problem telling you so. What a refreshing change from the usual reality show or biography. I would definitely recommend this book. Any woman, (#Iamoneofthem) needing a boost of self-confidence and ‘you are beautiful just the way you are’ pep talk should read this book.. As I battle Breast Cancer, I need all the uplifting humor I can get right now.
I felt like I was sitting right across from her while she was spilling the tea about her life. She’s very funny and I really liked her writing. The chapter about her thanking wine was the best. Thanks for all the pictures and the laughs you bring!
I had never heard of this person and was looking for a book to read. that would help me get through cabin fever while waiting for spring. The description sounded like this was it so I started reading it. She made me laugh, she made me wish I was like her, if you have something to say, say it and she did. Another reason I like the book and I know I will read it, again and again, is because this book wasn’t perfectly structured. It seemed to be whatever came to mind was where it went into the book. My days of trying to live up to perfection are long gone so to find this book, was refreshing, honest and just what I needed for my cabin fever but I also think it is one of those books each time you read it you could get something else out of it. This definitely is a keeper and when the book is released I will be buying it. Today is sort of a rough day but as my day goes on, parts of this book come back to me and make me chuckle, and I say Challenge Accepted and I can do this. It really did have an impact on me.
For some time I am following Celeste on social media and she is making my day with her Challenge Accepted photos, so when I saw her book, I just had to see who is Celeste behind the photo lenses. Thank you for that opportunity and I glad that I know her and people around her. Her way of telling her stories is easy, just like she is talking with the reader. Even this biography books are not my cup of tea I enjoyed reading this one
