I was really looking forward to reading this book, as I really like ferne and what she stands for even more so in recent years. Where many have praised Fearne for her honesty, others have pointed out that this is a book written during lockdown when numerous outside responsibilities were lost.

The brand was created from her first book released in 2017, Happy, which was a Sunday Times Bestseller and a silver Nielsen Bestseller.

I did however gain a few useful insights into my own truths and picked up some good tips on how to start speaking them!

Drawing on her own experiences and including expert advice, HAPPY offers practical ways of finding joy each and every day. Fearne is open and honest about her struggles and how she adapted to other people to fit in in her early years. It was an easy read and did not require me to concentrate much so in that sense it was relaxing however it sounded more like I was reading Ferne's daily journal as some of the parts almost felt like a rant.

This was also the premise for her podcast launched in 2018, Happy Place, and has featured an array of guest such as Ellie Golding, Hilary Rodham Clinton, Jada Pinkett Smith, Russell Brand, Gary Barlow, Alicia Keys, and Elizabeth Gilbert amongst others.

Fearne had an eager upbeat way of talking which works well for radio and for this book, as if she was interviewing herself, but I think this is part of why it felt more like a podcast.
