Why should she be? She was the precise marketing target. Ryan is refreshingly unashamed of the teenager and 20-something she was, obsessed with fake tan, fake boobs, and reality TV. And we need to talk about this weird era because low-riding micro-skirts are coming back and I want young people today to have the tools to deal with that. It’s not just the fact that Ryan is, as you would expect, a sharp and funny writer that makes this book so fascinating but also it’s one of the first autobiographies from a millennial who came of age in the Noughties. Set out in a series of ‘how-to’ chapters this autobiography takes an instructive and chronological approach that details how Ryan’s fearlessness has matured over time. Katherine Ryan is a comedian known for her ‘audacity’ but this book, and for that matter, Ryan’s body of work, make it clear that you cannot boil this woman down to one word.
