I first heard about Nicole Byer by watching the Netflix show Nailed It! (which I love and highly recommend!), and I was thrilled to find out she'd written a book, and even more thrilled when I was able to get an ARC from Edelweiss.

Nicole's voice comes through so clearly while reading this book, and I laughed out loud more than once. She's hilarious to watch on Nailed it! and her humor is present here, as well.

She gives a lot of good advice for those too ashamed to wear bikinis in public - in short, just do it. She has humorous comebacks for you to use against anyone who would try to shame you for wearing one, and the book as a whole is inspiring.

She shares a lot of photos of herself wearing bikinis, and sprinkles personal anecdotes throughout. This definitely isn't a typical autobiography, and you won't get any behind-the-scenes looks at Nailed It!, but it's a funny and timely book about loving yourself.

It was a quick read - I managed to finish it in just under an hour - but definitely worth the time. I would highly recommend this, especially if you love Nicole or if you struggle with the self-esteem to wear a bikini.
