"The fact that Susannah Constantine made her name as a 'style guru' as part of "Trinny and Susannah" from What Not to Wear is the least interesting thing about her. Susannah grew up amongst the great and good of British aristocracy and (unwittingly) trained to be a society bride. Fittingly, Barbara Cartland was her touchstone for romance: she wanted to be the underdog heroine who ended up marrying a prince. Instead she dated Princess Margaret's son for several years and traveled in royal circles, including on the island of Mustique. When that marriage proposal never showed up, she dated Imran Khan -then a gorgeous playboy/ cricket player and now the Prime Minister of Pakistan, before meeting her husband. Hers is a tale full to the brim with extraordinary anecdotes. Many of these stories are hilarious and snarky, some are painful, but all of them are honest, gossipy, and show that, in her words, she was "brought up to be ready for absolutely nothing." In sharing a peek behind the curtain, Constantine does not hold back and many bold names appear in these pages. But appearances are deceptive and beneath the balls and glamour, life has had a darker side: her mother's bipolar disorder, her father's inability to cope and her own subsequent alcoholism. Somehow, she had to forge her own life, away from the expectations of others. Which she did and does."--Publisher marketing.
