Publisher Description
A hilarious memoir of home truths and whatever the opposite of 'that girl energy' is, from one half of the hit podcast Toni & Ryan.
Like most of us, Toni Lodge tells little white lies all the time. Whether it's 'I'm five minutes away' or 'It must have gone to my spam folder', most of these innocent fibs are harmless. But what if you realised that you weren't just lying about the little things, but the big 'life' stuff too?
When Toni sat down to write this memoir, she realised that the lies she was telling herself were hiding some pretty important home truths—about her work, her identity and her mental health. In her dogged pursuit of these truths, she brazenly explores everything from gastro, fame and Twilight to funerals, the Dalai Lama and Brazilian waxes.
In this hilarious warm hug of a book, Toni exposes the lies she has told herself about who she is and what she is capable of, inviting us on a riotous romp that will make you laugh, cringe, cry and utterly rethink the truth behind the stories we tell ourselves.

Deals with grief of losing mother
This brave Australian woman deals with the topic of grief after losing her mother. I had never heard of this author, I am Australian- apparently she is a big deal.
I found it to be a light read and didn’t go as deep as I would have liked. I couldn’t relate at all because my mum died too and I was not sad at all. I was relieved. It was interesting to hear another persons grief journey and how it impacted other areas of her life. The entire time I was waiting for the big reveal, like…did she also get abused? Spoiler alert: not mentioned in this book! But it has that vibe, like you are about to go deeper and learn a secret, but it never happened.
For lovers of Toni
Not a book I’d usually read (no magic), but I love the Toni & Ryan Podcast and so this is a must read. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks Toni ☺️
Love how raw and relatable this was
I laughed and I cried. This book was so relatable and raw. I’m a big fan of the Toni and Ryan podcast and I’ve been so excited to read this book I made sure I preordered the book and audiobook book with no regrets. I loved every second of this book and hearing the emotions from Toni’s voice. Highly recommend.
