Publisher Description
Funny woman, Instagram star, international comedy sensation and now bestselling author, Celeste Barber's Challenge Accepted! is a hilarious and outspoken guide to life, unwanted gas and how to rock a sexy scar. It's real, like totally, really real.
Actor, writer and comedian, Celeste Barber is one very funny woman - not to mention a global social media comedy phenomenon. Amassing over 3.8 million followers in three years with her hilarious #celestechallengeaccepted pics, she has been dubbed 'Australian Comedy Queen' by ABC Online; voted The Funniest Lady on Instagram; gone on sold-out comedy tours of the US; and won herself fans ranging from Tom Ford and Ruby Rose to Amy Schumer and Dawn French.
In the tradition of Tina Fey's Bossypants, Challenge Accepted! is part memoir, part comedy routine, part advice manual. Calling out our ridiculous obsession with celebrity Instagram culture, Celeste reveals all, including her thoughts on keeping it real, the secrets to love, friendship, family and marriage (oh hai, #hothusband), and how to deal with life's many challenges, like, motherhood, and what to do when your local bottleshop owner can't remember your name.
Celeste is raucous, real and hilarious. Bring it on.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Celeste Barber is one of Instagram’s funniest Australians with her hilarious posts that mimic beautiful models and celebrities. Barber’s memoir takes us past our phone screens and into the social media star’s life. Written with her signature comedic irreverence, Challenge Accepted! is a series of anecdotes about everything from childbirth and Barber’s #hothusband to body-love and dealing with fame. Easy to listen to and filled with as many laugh-out-loud moments as her online feed, Barber’s book is refreshingly honest and a delight to hear.
Customer Reviews
Challenge Accepted - Celeste Barber
Easy to listen to and insightful if you’re ever unsure on where she stands with hot people. I enjoyed it except she said she doesn’t care for Game of Thrones and you lost me there, Celeste. Happy to contribute to your kids school shoes.
Hilarious, thanks for being open about your ADHD!
Love it so much I’m reviewing as I listen because I’m that sure you’re providing the goods. As a woman with AD/HD I’m so thankful you’re talking about it so openly!!! So feeling that shame about trying to study and it not working out because it just wouldn’t sink in. I blame our education system though! Yuck. My experience was drawing in the margins and I really just should have stuck with it instead of trying to stay awake during science. Turns out I’m a pretty damn good artist. Here’s to staying true to ourselves! From another Aussie! X
Great Book!
Extremely funny! 100% recommend to buy!
