jenifun 's review for:

The Wrong Knickers: A Decade of Chaos by Bryony Gordon

---

I really wanted to hate this book. It looked vaguely familiar from the cover, something I’d really avoid. High heels on a pale blue background with pink lettering really makes me queasy. I’d downloaded a sample and another Bryony Gordon book in the 99p sale; this was the friend that recommended A Little Life to me after all!

So, when I found myself in the charity shop on the main road after an internal examination (read: feeling very sorry for myself) this book was 20p. I had skipped past it at first, but then I checked that I hadn’t bought it after a few glasses of wine on kindle sale day (see Paul O’Grady: the Savage Years) and realised I’d bought the second in the series, well, I just couldn’t say no.

So here am I reading it. I can’t put it down. I wince a bit at ‘indie barman’, Dylan as in Bob, I’ve met every single one! Then I think, oh my, I’m 200 pages in. I take a few pictures of the book for Instagram and things. I drink some wine. I can’t sleep, I have watched all of Masterchef (yawn), caught up with The Bill and Sewing Bee but I need to do about 3 wees before I can possibly think of sleeping, so I read this. The sun is coming up, it is 4.25am. Cecil is flat out so I put the light on low. I am still reading this. I might disturb him by laughing out loud, but he’s had some beers and is cuddling the cat so...

This book made me LOL.
