READ BY THE AUTHOR

Well hello to you dear listener. Now I have your attention it would be rude if I didn't tell you a little about my literary feast. So, here is the thing: is it just me or does anyone else find that adulthood offers no refuge from the unexpected horrors, peculiar lack of physical coordination and sometimes unexplained nudity, that accompanied childhood and adolescence?

Does everybody struggle with the hazards that accompany, say, sitting elegantly on a bar stool; using chopsticks; pretending to understand the bank crisis; pedicures - surely it's plain wrong for a stranger to fondle your feet? Or is it just me?

I am proud to say I have a wealth of awkward experiences - from school days to life as an office temp - and here I offer my 18-year-old self (and I hope you too dear reader) some much needed caution and guidance on how to navigate life's rocky path.

Because frankly where is the manual? The much needed manual to life. Well, fret not, for this is my attempt at one and let's call it, because it's fun, a Miran-ual. I thank you.

Reseñas de la Crítica

Is Miranda Hart a National Treasure yet? If not, it can only be a year or two before she joins Stephen Fry and Alan Bennett in the trophy cabinet of the country's affections... That personality and voice belong to a uniquely cherished comedian, and the answer to that question in her title is actually, yes - it is just her. Because there's nobody like Miranda.

Funny and charming and full of terrific comic ideas... Unlike most comedians, she can actually write... Every Christmas there is, at the very most, one celeb book that is genuinely worth buying and reading. Here is this year's. Accept no substitutes.

'As you'd expect, it's very funny indeed... we applaud this bumbling, childish and splendid attempt to create such a guide, which includes Miranda verbally sparring with her 18-year-old self' *****

'Miranda Hart will carry you along with the sheer force of her charm, bumbling cheer and charisma'.

Navigate the awkwardness of adult life with Miranda Hart's Is It Just Me?

This is pure, unadulterated, totally genius, Miranda. A cult (would religion be too weighty a word?) must surely follow, where can we get the T-shirt?

Comedy queen Miranda recalls the awkward experiences she has encountered over the years and gives her unique thoughts and advice on dealing with them... Warning: you will laugh out loud on public transport while reading this! *****

In her brilliantly funny book, TV's Miranda muses on some of the most challenging, baffling and 'hideola' aspects of life... all the anecdotes are told in her unique style, with regular interjections from her 18-year-old self. Such fun! *****

'Before reading this, we didn't know the meaning of embarrassing'.

I can't wait to get my hands on a copy of Miranda Hart's new book - we should all embrace our inner Miranda gene and learn to laugh at ourselves.

'No one explores the intricacies and agonies of social embarrassment better than Hart'.

'It's an autobiography but not as we know it - rather than digging up demons and skeletons past, the light-hearted tone feels like catching up with an old friend over a pot of tea'.

The best thing about her book is its universality - it is stuffed with the kind of events with which almost every reader will identify - sometimes with a groan of horrified recognition.

There's probably a bit of Miranda in all of us, and maybe that's why we warm to her. Bear with, bear with, it's hilarious.

Miranda Hart is truly one of a kind!

What made the experience of listening to Is It Just Me? the most enjoyable?

So being from the U.S. I am not able to actually purchase Miranda's book at a bookstore, but thanks to audible I heard the story straight from the amazing and hilarious mind of Miranda Hart! I highly recommend anyone to buy this book, her stories of how she converses with her 18 year old self and her memories are more memorable than her just as amazing show! Love you Miranda!!! :D

What did you like best about this story?

Everything!

Have you listened to any of Miranda Hart’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have seen her show, and she is brilliantly funny in the show, and in her book she continues to bring the funny to the ears of her readers.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

SUCH FUN!

Any additional comments?

Everyone should read the book, but I say listen to it! It's even better!

No, not just her but ME too : )

Would you consider the audio edition of Is It Just Me? to be better than the print version?

Hearing the "disaster on legs" reading the book makes this a fab listen - her voice and her singing lends the humour and also the simpicity to the book.

Who was your favorite character and why?

16 year old Miranda is so full of dreams that its hilarious!

Any additional comments?

If you are a female or have a clumsy/awkward/different Daughter I recommend this book - just dont read it in public - people will stare when you start to hold your sides while crying with laughter!

No, It's not just you

If you could sum up Is It Just Me? in three words, what would they be?

Funny, delightful, clever

Who was your favorite character and why?

Miranda - present day
Who doesn't find teenagers a little trying??? (sorry teens)

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

I loved listening to Miranda do her own narration but it was a little hard to listen to her doing the voice of little Miranda especially listening with ear bud headphones

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I certainly had a number of laugh out loud moments and cringed at times when the stories came a little too close to home

Any additional comments?

I just adore Miranda

I love Miranda Hart

This book is one of my favorites. I am usually a teen dystopia type of reader, but I had seen Miranda's tv show and it is the only show that has made me literally laugh out loud. So when I saw she wrote a book, I had to read it. After reading it, I saw that she herself narrated the audiobook so I had to get that too. And then I let my sister borrow the book and she got her husband into the book and the show too. Its really for everyone.

I loved this book because although Miranda and I are very different in personality and background, the things she writes about are incredibly relatable. And hilarious. This book is basically the literary version of a meme about life.

such fun!

love her. adorable. neurodiverse wonder. joyfully silly. la la la la la la la la gallop.
