Hello, beauts. I am so beyond excited to finally share with you my big secret.

This audiobook is about my journey from start to finish, right up to what I'm looking for in the future. What an adventure it has been to write! I have laughed, cried, cringed and beamed with pride recounting all the crazy stories I have put into it.

The 'Love' chapter needed to be completely rewritten halfway through, which was tough…but it worked a bit like therapy and has taught me so much about myself. I pinch myself all the time over how fortunate I have been. Not only was I born into the most magical family and given the most unique childhood - being part of a foster family full of love - but six years ago I landed a place on a little BAFTA award-winning show called TOWIE (I know, six years - crazy, right?).

Through it I have grown from a quiet, vulnerable teenager who was honestly a bit lost in life into an entrepreneur, fund-raiser and worldwide adventurer, all before my 22nd birthday. Alongside my story I've shared everything I now know that I wish I had back then, from dating rules to makeup routines and the amazing workout that got me bikini ready for my TOWIE return in 2014. I've even packed it full of my favourite inspirational quotes, recipes, and photos (the good, the bad and the ugly!). So fingers and toes crossed that you like it. ;)

Live, Laugh, Love, Always, Lydia. Written and read by Lydia Bright.
