After celebrating her thirtieth birthday in prison, Nina discovers a self-help book which might just get her life back on track in this hilarious and heartwarming novel from the author of Not That Easy.
When Nina Mistry hits rock bottom - because no one plans to turn thirty in a prison cell - a tatty little self-help book finds its way into her hands. She doesn't think she needs it; why would a strong, sensible Taurus like her go on a 'life-changing journey' to fix herself? But her inner journalist is curious. Within minutes, she's hooked. By the time the sun comes up, she knows exactly what she needs to do...
This book will change your life... if you're brave enough to let it.
This will not be a journey for the faint-hearted, but whatever else Nina has messed up in her life, she's never been afraid of a challenge.
30 bold steps. One year.
Her mother is - as always - appalled. Her brother is too depressed to care. The love of her life? He's already moved on. And her friends... well, that's another story. But Nina has Nina. And she's about to find out if that's enough.
It's time for a brand new kind of love story. Are you ready?
Thirty Things I Love About Myself is a gloriously uplifting novel for anyone who has ever had a self-worth wobble, or is watching someone they love struggle; it is for any woman who has ever failed and got herself right back up again, or whose life is veering a little off track!
We think it's the book your best friend would recommend you start reading right now. And it might well make you radically rethink everything you know about love...

Glad I got to read it to have an insight into what it is...
