Welcome to Litsy!

I‘m a huge fan of the Toni and Ryan podcast. This wasn‘t quite as funny as that but a cute and comfy listen, especially since Toni voices the #audiobook.

Totally strayed from my #scarathlon TBR, to impulse read/listen to this audiobook by one of my favourite podcasters! Probably won‘t gain me many word search points, but I did FINALLY get clarification on something that‘s been bugging me for YEARS!

I always thought that Australian/UK audiobooks were pronouncing diamonds as DIE-AH-MUN-TEES. Turns out they call rhinestones DIAMONTES. My husband asked an Australian Twitch streamer, and he clarified.

Toni and Ryan regularly make me cry laughing, and I was expecting more of the same with Toni's book. I definitely got that, but also much more. She's incredibly open about the good, the bad, and the ugly of life. I cried with laughter, but also with genuine emotion as she relayed living through the loss of her mom, panic and anxiety, and her journey with therapy. Unexpectedly wonderful read!

Lovely story.

I love the Toni & Ryan podcast so I had good expectations going into this book. Toni‘s sense of humor and honesty about the embarrassing stuff is across every page. I was not, however, prepared for the section about her mom passing. I was definitely crying at my desk while listening to it.
