About this ebook

THE SUNDAY TIMES NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER
'It will certainly raise what I call a smile in her thousands of fans' DAILY MAIL

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

Well hello to you dear browser. 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.

Ratings and reviews

(Please note the correct usage of the phrase what I call). I loved this book and feel a little more normal as a result. I don't have to go to shops called big and long but I do have to buy from shops 'tall' sections and now feel less alone. It must be said that if you don't like the sitcom then you probably won't like the book. If you like the book you will love it. The only negative is a side effect where one finds themself saying 'amaze balls' in everyday language. Still, SUCH FUN!

Miranda Hart, she is just so funny. I was only able to get the sample as i have no money on my device. But even that was really humorous. Please could you increase the size of the sample. People.like ne who are unable to purchase the whole book will certainly benefit from this. Many thanks.

I've read this book from the library before, but I wanted to buy the book because I kept borrowing it! It's an amazing book and really made me laugh, but I can't even read it because it (and I quote) 'cannot open' not very happy since it cost money...
