It's Giving Life

Hilarious and honest guide to life from hugely popular social media, TV and podcast star GK Barry.

Chaotic, reckless and 100% unfiltered- this is the hilarious world according to hugely popular social media star, TV star and podcaster GK Barry.

Before we jump in, I should probably tell you what this book isn't. It's not an autobiography (I'm still too fresh out the womb) or self-development guide (er, be real). Neither does it contain a magic formula that's going to give you the solution to surviving every plot twist life decides to throw at you. None of my 'advice' - and I use the term in the loosest possible sense - should be taken as gospel. Or even at all.

I'm not an expert on anything except my own life and, therefore, my own fuck ups and that's what I'm going to be sharing with you here in order to make all of you feel better about yourselves because we're all trying to navigate our way through life and it is wild out there. I'm going to give you the tea on losing my virginity, STIs, pubic hair, hangxiety, sexuality and why I became a raging lez. We'll delve into body image, dating disasters, the digital world, dealing with exes, getting revenge on the pricks who made your life hell at school and how to start caring less about the opinions of others.

Expect the following pages to be full of hypocrisy and contradictions because I'm very much a work in progress and still figuring all this out myself. I'm laying every last bit of personal trauma out there for the greater good of humanity which basically makes me a saint and you can thank me later.
