Before I went on holiday, I picked up this book from the Oxfam bookshop in town. Being away always makes me feel quite creative, so 9 times out of 10 I’m sat on the plane home with a notepad full of scribbles, excited about new plans and new projects to start when I get back. But then life and work get in the way, and these plans tend to fall by the wayside.

Not this time.

Sarah’s no holds barred, profanity ridden advice absolutely gave me a metaphorical kick up the arse.

It was frank, brutal, and shoved a chipmunk* shaped reflection back in my procrastinating face. I wouldn’t class this as a “this book will change your life” deal, but it was very motivational. Because, really, getting your shit together is just common sense, it just takes someone to tell you to actually realise.

I’d say this book is perfect for post-holiday, pre-big project or warding-off-the-Sunday-night-scaries readers

Also by Sarah Knight, The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a Fuck, which I for one definitely need to read.
