About this audiobook
‘Prepare to laugh’ – Reese Witherspoon
253 steps to becoming an anti-it girl.
Funny woman, Instagram star and international comedy sensation, Celeste Barber’s Challenge Accepted! is a raucous, hilarious and outspoken guide to life, unwanted gas and how to rock a sexy scar.
Part-memoir, part-comedy routine, part-advice manual, Challenge Accepted! is Celeste at her best, revealing her secrets to love, friendship, family and marriage (oh hai, #hothusband), and how to deal with life’s many challenges – why she checks the bath for sharks, how Nutella quite literally shaped who she is as a woman, and why being famous on Instagram is like being rich in Monopoly. It’s real, like totally, really real.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great, entertaining book. If you are familiar with the writer you shouldn't be disappointed.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5My top three thoughts on 'Challenge Accepted':
1. I absolutely LOVE Celeste Barber. When I first came across her Instagram account, the one word that kept running through my mind was 'real'! Her pictures looked like someone in her family had taken them and she looked like how any woman would look when trying to pose in some ludicrous photo shoots. Watching her popularity grow and seeing her not taking herself seriously in front of the camera, has been an absolute joy to watch. I'm glad I read this book because I now feel like I know the woman behind the hilarious profile and ridiculous pictures a little better.
2. The thing is, Barber's book isn't just about her joking around. She shares some really difficult moments of her life with such grace and as expected, some humor. It's so easy to like this woman because she comes across as relatable and honest.
3. The book is a good mix of funny, serious and sad. I highly recommend listening to this one as an audiobook because Celeste Barber has narrated the book. There are a few passages that make you empathize with her even more because they're so touching in her own voice. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Funny as f**k. Well written and well enjoyed. Thank you
