Selected reader words
“A truly incredible read. A beautifully written book with brutal honesty, passion and humour. It made me laugh out loud and cry, opened my eyes to a world I really knew little about… absolutely loved it. Highly recommend you buy this book.”
— Tanya, U.K. · Amazon, 2021
“Exciting, heartbreaking, raw, blunt, honest. A total roller coaster of emotion. Beautifully written, almost like he's sat next to you spilling his secrets over a glass of wine. Read it, immerse yourself in it. It's well worth it!”
— A reader · Book 3
“The funniest, saddest, most joyous, heart wrenching, truthful and ultimately hugely life enhancing autobiography I have read.”
