Description

I particularly liked the beginning when he was discussing his procrastination at starting the book, it's a standard autobiography but it isn't chronological, the timeline jumps around covering various points that Nick wishes to discuss such as his experience on Sport Relief, his realisation that he is gay and anecdotes from his radio career. The book is his latest invitation to his noisy, cosy party, one that he’s determined to continue beyond Radio 1, all of us part of the straight-through crew.

Heart-breaking and heartening in equal measure, Nick will have you laughing out loud, feeling all the emotions and (potentially) having a good cry. It was with me in the morning before school, in the car (until my parents grew into Radio 2), and on Sunday afternoons when I was doing my homework when Fearne Cotton and Reggi Yates presented the chart show.

These are Grimmy's brilliant, nostalgic coming-of-age tales, covering life's pivotal moments, the loves, the losses, and the fun had with the family and friends that made him.Reading about how he found his way in the media industry has made me excited for what I have to come in my career. He covers the topic I was hoping to hear about, getting into Radio 1, but there's so much more to this that I wasn't expecting to love as much as I did. However, when I saw that Nick Grimshaw was bringing out 'a collection of stories' about himself, I was intrigued.

after listening to him religiously on the radio years back, reading this felt like reuniting with an old friend.

i can't say i'm a huge autobiography person but this had me laughing and crying all within the space of one chapter and i just really love grimmy's way of storytelling - so heartwarming and fun like the man himself! In lockdown, though, battling with anxiety, he signed up to do a meditation course and as it approached he realised something. He's "too much" in a world that needs it because at least he's himself - I don't think he'd have lasted so long at Radio 1 if he wasn't. Ever since he can remember, Nick Grimshaw wanted to present Radio 1’s breakfast show – and that’s what he did. From his move from Oldham, Greater Manchester, to the bright lights of London, to his 14-year career climbing to the helm of the.

It's a collection of stories: stories on life, loves, death, fears, obsessions, nights out, growing up and making dreams come true. Right now I've just got my exams back making me a senior journalist so the world is my oyster and who knows what's I've got ahead of me. Some, I hope will make you laugh, and some, are emotional AF, so I'm afraid these might make you cry. Down from Oldham for a football match with his dad one day, little Nick persuaded him to detour so he could look through the windows of the Radio 1 offices, because when he grew up that was where he wanted to present the breakfast show.

It's a very unique life experience that Nick manages to explain better than anyone I have previously read. Meeting Amy Winehouse before she got big, ending up at a Madonna party with his parents, and getting life advice off Kate Moss while she eats bread and butter - it's insane what he's done but yet he makes it seem normal, and reminded me that celebrities are just people too and he approached all these situations with that attitude.
