Coming-of-age stories from much loved radio royalty, DJ and TV personality Nick Grimshaw - now with a new chapter. ''Hilarious and quintessentially Nick. Unapologetically himself always, and that''s what I love the most'' Dua Lipa ''Very funny, very sweet and full of charm -- a bit like the man himself'' Graham Norton From partying with pop stars and chatting breeze on the radio, to drinking too much, to not drinking at all, to growing up, coming out, general nonsense, the journey from self-loathing to self-care and making dreams come true. These are Grimmy''s brilliant, nostalgic coming-of-age tales, covering life''s pivotal moments, the loves, the losses, and the fun had with the family and friends that made him. Heart-breaking and heartening in equal measure, Nick will have you laughing out loud, feeling all the emotions and (potentially) having a good cry. ''A snapshot of his formative moments that feel relatable, emotional and downright unfiltered . . . like a good long chat with a mate you have always adored'' Glamour ''One of those fearlessly honest books that manages to be moving and thought-provoking and funny at the same time. A bit like him really'' Emily Dean, The Times ''Personal and beautifully written . . . I can''t recommend it enough'' Tom Allen, Virgin Radio
