About this listen

Includes an additional new chapter and exclusive Q&A.

Short-listed for the Specsavers National Book Awards 2018 in Autobiography/Biography.

The number one Sunday Times best seller.

So, this is me. Lily Allen.

I am a woman.

I am a mother.

I was a wife.

I drink.

I have taken drugs.

I have loved and been let down.

I am a success and a failure.

I am a songwriter.

I am a singer.

I am all these things and more.

When women share their stories, loudly and clearly and honestly, things begin to change - for the better.

This is my story.

Never believe what you read

I think every woman should read this book, when I told friends that I was reading this book it was exactly as Lilly had said , oh she got fame through her parents. Lilly gives an amazing example of how famous parents can hold you back and her uphill struggles with life. I had to close my ears at time with the language, but very thought provoking book.

Brave, refreshing, empowering.

A liberating, honest look at a human experience in raw detail and how our society filters and shapes that experience.
Real and at times funny, thank you Lily, your gift is your authenticity.

I never knew or understood!

I'm aged 70+ but have always loved Lily!
To hear her narrate her own story was touching & emotional!
I enjoyed every moment of this book, but I'm glad She has come out at the other side, a little less fragile! I hope ALL HER FREINDS(?) realise Lily is still FRAGILE!
I would like to wish her all the best for her future!

Pleasantly surprised to hear Lily’s story

I had no strong opinions of Lily prior to hearing her book but I thought she read her story so eloquently and with real honesty and grit. I’d recommend it to anyone. I enjoyed it so much and consumed it within 2 days!
