Publisher Description

Making It is a memoir about beating the odds and turning things around even when it all seems hopeless.

We had our hardships, and there were times that we didn’t have a lot of food and didn’t have a lot of money. But that didn’t stop me having the time of my life.

In his book, Jay shares the details of his life, from his childhood growing up sheltered and innocent on a council estate in Hackney, to his adolescence when he was introduced to violent racism at secondary school, to being brutalized by police as a teen, to finally becoming the presenter of the hit primetime show The Repair Shop.

Making it

This is the best book I have had the pleasure to read in a long time. I could not wait to pick it up again each time I had to stop reading it. Hope to have more from Jay Blades in the future.
