I spent a good third of this book trying to think about what the writing of Lex Croucher reminded me off - their YouTube channels that I used to watch, a podcast I'd listened to - then I realised. Myself. Croucher's honesty and realism while avoiding toxic positivity reminds me a lot of my own columns, which is probably why I liked this book so much. Croucher writes in such an accessible way that reading it felt like having a WhatsApp conversation with my best friend, who incidentally also reminds me that my friends don't hate me and I'm not a burden.

Throughout this book Lex keeps you entertained but also helps you out through her genuine advice. I love how at some point on every other page you’re given the genuine opportunity to giggle and relate to something.

From general day to day life, to work, relationships, friends, food, and being kind to our planet, Lex has written a fantastic book that keeps that smile on your face & know exactly how to feel empowered.

Her words are powerful and helpful, and I couldn’t recommend this enough for anyone who is going through a bit of a tricky or challenging time. It’s lighthearted, with a touch of seriousness, but all in all an absolutely fantastic book.

Will definitely pick this up again.
Thank you, Lex.

Finally got around to reading this book and I’m glad I did - the short length and easy readability helped me get out of a reading slump of feeling like I couldn’t finish anything.

I’ve watched Lex on YouTube for years and have always loved their sense of humour. I think the e-book format doesn’t work as well as it would in print but regardless I still was laughing out loud at various points. It’s delightfully weird and I think I really would have loved and appreciated it so much when I was a teenager.

One of my favourite books...reminds me, I think it's time for a reread!

If any of my fellow weirdos need a good self-help book, I can hook you up
