Lily Allen’s recent album, ‘No Shame’ was released earlier this June, which makes perfect sense for Allen to be following up with a book in September. ‘No Shame’ was written by Allen after the break up of her marriage and struggling with her self-worth. This left her going through an emotional whirlwind, which we will also get to read about in ‘My Thoughts Exactly’.
Following the book’s release, Allen is preparing to head out on her ‘No Shame’ tour across US / Europe. You can read the full dates of the ‘No Shame’ tour will be below:
