Quite by Claudia Winkleman
My review
3/5 stars
Claudia Winkleman shares a series of observations about the world around her and things that get her through her life in her way.
Claudia has always been someone I've enjoyed watching on TV because she gives off a frantically kooky yet warm energy that, thankfully, translates well into her book.
She covers a variety of topics, from parenting and relationships to art galleries and eyeliner, giving her opinions with a warmth and humour that is both natural and inviting. I enjoyed how down-to-earth she is about everything and how she underplays all the flashier aspects of her life.
The audiobook was a fun experience, as she narrates it herself and really does a fantastic job of bringing her words to life with her unique energy.
Book blurb
Claudia Winkleman’s warmth, humour, no-holds-barred attitude and smoky eye have made her the favourite broadcaster of millions and a much-loved household name.
In this, her first ever book, Claudia invites us all into her world. She shares her observations on topics such as the importance of melted cheese, why black coats are vital, how it’s never okay to have sex with someone who has an opinion on your date outfit, how nurses are our most precious national treasure, and why colourful clothing is only for the under 10s (if you’re reading this sporting a bright red jumper and you’re 9, great! If you’re older, sorry).
This is a love letter to life – the real, sometimes messy kind. Quite celebrates friendship, the power of art, the highs and lows of parenting, and of course, how a good eyeliner can really save your life.
Heartfelt, wry and unmistakably Claudia, this book gets to the heart of what really matters.
