I can’t imagine reading another book that completely captures the authors voice and tone like this one! I can hear Sara speaking every word! I think what comes across the most is the normalness ( is that a word???) of Ms Cox, and makes it a really nice engaging read. It’s not about the flashy stories or charmed life. It’s very down to earth.

I think Sara Cox has done enough to endear herself to the Great British public, that she's bordering on National Treasure status. If you read her childhood memoir, 'Till the Cows Come Home" it should easily tip the balance for any doubters. She wasn't born into a world of opportunities as the child of a celebrity, and had no subsequent shunt up the ladder of success, instead, she was born to a farmer and his wife on the outskirts of Bolton. Rags to riches? More like muck to magic, as she seamlessly transitions from Bolton farmgirl to Korean model in her own inimitable style.
This is less like reading a book, and more like spending a long night in the pub with Coxy, listening to her tell her tale, as it is written very much in her style of speaking - packed with jokes, self-deprecation and daftness. By the end of it, you feel like she's one of your friends.
A fascinating insight into a normal childhood and how it made the much-loved presenter we all know today. I wasn't a huge fan of her before, pigeon-holing her into that Zoe Ball / Claudia Winkelman / famous-parents-coat-tails bucket, but she really rises above it, and this book made me respect her an awful lot more for how she got where she is today. A great fun read.
