This book is the opposite of a misery memoir and is certainly safe to give to cancer patients as a cheerful present.

More importantly, it sheds new light on:

• Why Kim Kardashian is worth Keeping Up With
• What playlists to make for MRI scans
• The truth behind the legend of Medea
• Bikini etiquette on a deserted beach
• What to do with a glut of rainbow chard
• What an Oscar-winner should say in an acceptance speech
• How to deal with cold-callers selling life insurance
• And what to wear on a March Against Menopause (layers, obviously)
