'You know what I want?

'I want to be able to have fun wherever I am.

'I want to laugh. All. The. Time.

'I want to have one holiday every year with my family where we have no plans and nowhere else to be.

'I want to watch less television and read more books.

'I want to be able to whinge about never being able to be alone any more, then, after someone organises a hotel room voucher for me, I want to spend the evening eating chips (that I don't like) from a cylinder and missing my children to the point of tears.

'Broadcaster, TV host and columnist Chrissie Swan is one of Australia's busiest and most admired working mums. She's a self-deprecating, frequently confessing 'over sharer'. Her fans number in the hundred of thousands and have eagerly followed Chrissie from her breakout success as the runner-up on Big Brother to The Circle, Network Ten's Can Of Worms, breakfast host on MIX 101.1 and co-host of The 3pm Pickup on MIX FM nationwide. A Logie Award winner (Most Popular Female Presenter) and a Gold Logie Award nominee in 2011, it's unsurprising that Chrissie is one of the most loved personalities in the business and a firm favourite with female viewers, listeners and readers. Her popular columns (read by over a million readers nationwide) are by turns hilarious, candid and brave as Chrissie willingly shares details of her personal life that resonate with every woman. From weight to wee, children to crap dates, nothing is off limits. A celebration of Chrissie's columns in Fairfax's Sunday Life magazine compiled in one cracking, fearless compendium, Is It Just Me? is sure to connect with women everywhere.' (Publisher's blurb)
