Paperback: Is It Just Me? by Miranda Hart (Hodder £7.99)

Miranda, which is Miranda Hart’s persona, or creation, is hilarious, because she’s always doing and thinking things we dare not admit we think and do, too.

She’s a tall, posh woman whose lurid thoughts beckon her into scrapes which reveal these thoughts. Here, Hart stays inside the Miranda persona and surveys life as if describing it from the vantage of her late thirties to her 18-year-old self.

So, for instance, 38-year-old Miranda tries to explain to her perplexed younger self why she likes nice loos. In a wonderfully gentle way, this is a hugely funny concept.
