Enrapturing. Touching, funny and sweet * Alain de Botton * No one makes loneliness and anxiety as funny as Simon Amstell. Every sentence in this book is simultaneously heartbreaking and hilarious * Hadley Freeman * Disarmingly, almost alarmingly, honest. I laughed out loud 57 times * Martin Freeman * Hard to imagine anyone not loving this... go Simon Amstell! * Stephen Fry * A beautiful and clever book about being human. All the warmth of his comedy without the inconvenience of his face * Russell Brand *
