Exactly the book I hoped it would be (a misjudged Christmas gift that was a good book to pick up when I didn’t fancy something denser). Glad to have passed my time with it, but I doubt I’ll be reading the sequels.

I think perhaps an excellent book if you’re a real Lily Allen. For me, having been only interested in her as a cultural figure growing up with the same cultural reference points to me, it was an intriguing look into the darker side of the music industry.
She does not hold back on revealing names, and doesn’t paint anyone with a soft brush, so at times it is shocking to hear certain names used, but right on.
She’s had a hell of a time of it.

Absolutely nothing new here if you know his stand-up well, and it works a lot worse written down.
