Bryony Gordon, Author
NO. 1 BESTSELLER!
‘A book that every teenage girl needs to read … and every grown woman will wish she had read’ Fearne Cotton
‘Bold. Brilliant. Bryony! This is the ultimate guide to growing up happy’ Dr Max Pemberton
I wanted to be a unicorn. I wanted to be a lawyer. I wanted to be an astronaut.
But the thing I really wanted to be, more than anything else, was a little less like me.
It was only recently that I realised not wanting to be me was at the heart of every dumb decision I ever made. And so now I am writing this book containing all the life lessons I wish someone had taught me.
A book for the teenage girl in me. And for every teenage girl out there. Because the most powerful thing you can be when you grow up is yourself.
