Challenge Accepted! by Celeste Barber



 "Have you noticed that most hot people you see in the street look confused?"


Celebrity books can be a little hit and miss, so I was somewhat sceptical about this one.Clearly I shouldn't have been concerned, Celeste is just as delightful as her instagram posts. Her enthusiastic, self-deprecatory voice shines through and draws you in from the get-go. 

The unexpected gem here is the author's life story, something lacking from the hilarious visuals online.From struggles with schooling to the vagaries of life as a would-be actress and the challenges of childbirth, the book meanders in a distinctly non-linear way and I think that adds to its charm. 

Barber comes across as unfiltered and honest, which merely adds to her tremendous appeal. Even when she name drops it is done in a way that you forgive, because its just like a close friend is explaining an unbelievable encounter to you over a sneaky glass of something fizzy.

5 out of 5 - Who wouldn't want to hang out with Celeste and her hot husband?
