Details. Condition: Brand New. Format: Paperback. ISBN: 9781472210142. Publisher: Headline Publishing Group. Age Range: Adult (18+). Overview. The Wrong Knickers: A Decade of Chaos is Bryony Gordon's hilariously candid memoir about the messy reality of your twenties, when life refuses to match the fantasy you imagined as a teenager. Drawn from her much-loved Telegraph column, this Sunday Times bestseller strips away the myth of the perfect decade and replaces it with hangovers, heartbreak, questionable flatmates and an overdraft that never shrinks. Warm, wickedly funny and disarmingly honest, it's essential reading for anyone whose best years didn't quite go to plan.. About the Book. Bryony Gordon spent her adolescence dreaming of the perfect twenties: a great job, a lovely flat, a devoted boyfriend. The reality, as she reveals with searing honesty in The Wrong Knickers, was rather different. Instead of a dream career, she lurched from one journalistic mishap to the next. Instead of a lovely flat, she lived in a succession of grim, overpriced shoe boxes across London. And instead of a soulmate, her most reliable relationship was with a packet of Marlboro Lights. Told with the wit and warmth that made her Telegraph column so beloved, this memoir busts open the glamorised myth of being young and single in the city, replacing it with the horrible, hilarious truth: hangovers that lasted days, heartbreaks that felt like the end of the world, and a bank balance permanently over its limit. Yet beneath the chaos runs a genuinely redemptive arc, as Bryony slowly figures out who she actually is. Funny, touching and relatable, it's a book for anyone who compared their real life to Carrie Bradshaw's and found the truth far messier.. Key Benefits. Sunday Times bestselling memoir from a trusted, funny voice in British journalism. Diary-style storytelling drawn from Bryony Gordon's beloved Telegraph column. A candid look at dating disasters, debt and chaotic flat-shares in London.
