'A rollicking ride . . . What a life' SUNDAY TIMES
Essential reading for anyone who secretly just wants the naughty bits . . .
Susannah Constantine is famous as the noughties style guru on What Not To Wear, but this is the least interesting thing about her.
Hers is a life filled to the brim with 70s glitz, 80s glamour and above all else an enlightening 50 years of f**k-ups, crisis and chaos.
There's dating cricket royalty not to mention real life royalty, as well as lavatory dramas with Princess Margaret. Add in weekends at Balmoral witnessing Thatcher and the Queen battle for power, plus time for falling in love, Strictly dancing debuts and a spot of wild swimming. Juicy, hilarious, sometimes heart-breaking, and crammed with moments where life goes completely wrong, Ready for Absolutely Nothing is full of absolutely everything.
