I have no idea how I got this book or why I have it, because we are cord cutters and I have no idea who Clinton Kelly is. I read the bio on the back cover flap, and I've never watched What Not to Wear, and have only very occasionally caught partial episodes of The Chew in waiting rooms.
I was looking for a light read to take to the doctor's office so I could (ironically) avoid watching daytime cable TV while waiting, and picked this book out of Mt. TBR based on the cover and chapter length. Lo and behold: Clinton Kelly's essays are hilarious! The stories from his life are honest, warm, funny, and snarky but without ever devolving to meanness. The only essay that did not hit for me (and it is the longest) was a paraody based on the people from What Not to Wear, which I likely would have appreciated if I had watched the show.
