The private party did go ahead but it became something of a sombre wake; people murmured quietly for a bit, offered their condolences to any crying staff and left early. From the star of the hit Netflix series The Duchess comes a brilliantly funny, fiercely honest, and dangerously astute handbook of life instruction. Freshly 19, I’d successfully evaded the need to end any of my relationships by cleverly being undesirable and always dumped first. I’d recently started a job in [my hometown] Sarnia’s best summer restaurant, where I was often paired on the bar with an older girl called Jessica. What I appreciated about this book was that she is very honest, even about the really gross details about some of the unfitting, horrible, gross relationships she has had. Things that can be a source of shame for a lot of women and she talks about it so candidly, things you really wouldn't want other people to know about. And certainly she's been free to write it down and not discount that part of her life. The kind of "what the hell was I thinking" kind of moments. She puts it all out there.

I’m often asked how I developed my lurid level of courage and assurance and for tips on how others can match. The Audacity is my chance to share my blueprint for just that. You will learn: But we are getting ahead of ourselves, because this version of Ryan, the one who hosts panel shows and receives evisceration requests, was shaped by careful accident over 38 years, beginning in Sarnia, a small petrochemical town in Canada. She was restless and popular, and at 19 worked as a waitress with a friend called Jessica. In her book, Ryan calls this chapter “How To Let Your Friend’s Murder Define All Your Relationships”. One day Jessica didn’t turn up to work and soon Ryan heard she’d been killed by her ex-boyfriend. “That’s how it happens,” Ryan’s mum told her that evening. “If you leave them, they sometimes kill you.” “I felt guilty writing about that,” she says, “because when you write your own book, you really centre yourself. She wasn’t my best friend, she wasn’t my sister, but it affected me, and it affected all the young women in our town, too. It was a lesson. When your brain is still growing, the events of your life write on the canvas of who you are. Without even knowing it I learned, ‘If you piss them off, they’ll kill you.’” Years later she’d joke on stage, “Things like, ‘Men are nature’s gun. You’re statistically most likely to be killed by the one in your house. Haha.’ And until recently I didn’t even realise myself, how scared I was.” I think it is unrealistic to hope that everyone is going to like you
A 1- 6 minute film that can take the form of anything comical. It’s a great opportunity to show us your creative flair and have fun! Whatever strangers think of me is fine with me. How audacious is that? I can always take a joke, I don't waste time worrying about things I can't control. I embrace the reality that you just can't please everyone, so you might as well put yourself out there and have a laugh. As my mother always said, "Katherine, if we all liked the same thing, we'd all be married to your father."
