Book Hero thinking about your next read

Australia's reality-show sweetheart Angie Kent gives her wise, witty and unique views on life, love and the things that matter from either side of the TV screen.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Angie Kent won hearts and friends when she partnered with best friend Yvie Jones to commentate from the couch as we watched them watching TV on GOGGLEBOX. Then Angie proved a stalwart on the 2019 season of I'M A CELEBRITY ... GET ME OUT OF HERE! And then she became the unforgettable 2019 Bachelorette. It's clear Australia can't get enough of Angieβ€”and now she gives us some of her quirky, funny, warm-hearted wisdom on life, love, and everything in between, in the form of a book.

With no holds barredβ€”just as you'd expectβ€”Angie talks about her challenges with mental health and body image; her family and friends; what has and hasn't worked in her relationships, and what she has learnedβ€”the hard wayβ€”about life. There are plenty of laughs, and some tears, and always plenty of heart.

Angie's is the voice of your imaginary best friendβ€”the one who always has your back, and who knows just what to say because she's been there before.
