"If there is one book you read this year, let this be it! I have been a little 'stuck' with life recently & honestly this little book was exactly what I needed. It's like a handy little pocket guide and is now kept on my bedside table at all times. I think this book is particularly relevant for any twenty something who is struggling to find their way, or are gearing themselves for a lifestyle change. The second part of this book features the advice of Kirsty's friends and family, along with food recipes, which is just so special! A book which you can easily pick up and put down and annotate 'til your heart's content!" @bulletbookreviews // "What a gorgeous collection of thoughts,advice, recipes and words of wisdom for young people, and those who look after them. It's a really lovely concept for a book, and the perfect size to tuck away in a bag to be found when unpacking into a University hall, or a shared room ready for starting a first job. I can see this would help to build confidence and spread a message of positivity and understanding, it has a lot of powerful messages in a very small book." @katerutherford6 // "This book has been brilliant these last few weeks. I agreed to take part in this blog tour due to mental health issues within my own family. This book has so many great things within it - coping strategies, cooking tips and some excellent advice. I have given this to someone I think would hugely benefit from its' words of wisdom." @mickysbookworm // "Reading this book felt like a warm hug. Every single part of this book was something I could relate to, and this is one I'll keep close by for when I need some reassurance of a reality check. The recipes at the end give such a unique and personal touch and I know that every time I use one of those recipes , I'll be met by kind words and advice which is heartwarming." @heidiandherbooks // "Kirsty definitely has some good advice in the book and I feel it really gave the support needed and the fact that people aren't alone with 'everyday issues'. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to read this, I will treasure it for a long time." @soph_life.pages // "The author has curated a book of advice for young people however I think it would be a great read for people who may not have older role models also. I found it a comforting read. Covering topics such as relationships, gratitude, money, confidence and careers it's a book I could recommend to anybody looking for a little reassurance or inspiration." @agirllostinbooks // "This book is a gift of advice to young people and is based on the life lessons Kirsty has learned from her own ups and downs. Written originally for her own children, the advice here can apply to anyone, even us adults. Thank you for writing this helpful book. I recommend it to any parent or young person." @booksandmoomins // "What a cute and insightful little book! A self help book that's straight to the point and covers so many aspects. It's broken down into quick and easy chapters with nuggets of wisdom and advice - very good advice in my opinion too! I'll definitely be dipping back into this one now and again! And best of all there are some amazing sounding recipes in the back for quick and easy meals that I'm definitely going to try out." @bethhreads
