Imogen Kandel Senior Publicist Black Inc. http://www.blackincbooks.com
From weight to wee, children to crap dates, nothing is off limits.
Broadcaster, TV host and columnist Chrissie Swan is one of Australia’s busiest
working mums. She’s also a self-deprecating, frequently confessing “over sharer”.
Read by over a million people nationwide, her popular columns are by turns
hilarious, candid and brave. Compiled for the first time, this hilarious book
reveals the highs, lows and humour of one of Australia’s most-loved
personalities.
A celebration of Chrissie’s columns in Fairfax’s Sunday Life magazine brought
together in one cracking, fearless compendium, Is It Just Me? is sure to connect
with women everywhere.
“You know what I want?
I want to be able to have fun wherever I am.
I want to laugh. All. The. Time.
I want to have one holiday every year with my family where we have no plans
and nowhere else to be.
I want to watch less television and read more books.
I want to be able to whinge about never being able to be alone any more, then,
after someone organises a hotel room voucher for me, I want to spend the
evening eating chips (that I don’t like) from a cylinder and missing my children
to the point of tears.” — Chrissie Swan, excerpt from Is It Just Me?
“Chrissie writes what we’re all thinking. Her honesty and humour are a gift.
And a relief!” — Mia Freedman
“Smart, sassy, funny. Chrissie is the best girlfriend everyone should have.
And with this book, now they can.” — Matt Preston
