If you think you know Susannah Constantine, you may be surprised to learn that while What Not to Wear donned her the status of a style guru, it is actually the least interesting thing about her.

Hers is a tale full to the brim with extraordinary anecdotes.

From lavatory dramas with Princess Margaret, eye-opening sex-club etiquette with pop royalty to behind-the-scenes power struggles between Thatcher and the Queen! Her social landscape has been nothing, if not varied.

But appearances are deceptive, and beneath it all, life had a dark side, particularly her mother's mental illness and her father's struggles with alcoholism. Somehow, she had to forge her own life, away from the expectations of others.

Told with gobsmacking honesty and great dollops of humor, Ready for Absolut. A Memoir is a must-read for anyone who wants to know the real Susannah Constantine in the hottest memoir of the year!
