Get the Girls Out: A Memoir of Love, Loss and Letting Loose Audible Audiobook – Unabridged

Lucy Bloom (Author, Narrator), Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd (Publisher)
4.7 out of 5 stars 20
See all formats and editions

A rousing, funny, straight-talking, inspirational and generally awesome audiobook, part memoir, part life-lessons, which urges us all to find our courage, take joy in life and celebrate our extraordinary ordinariness.

Stirring, straight-talking, incredibly inspiring, funny and full-on - Lucy Bloom is one of a kind, and so is her memoir.

Lucy's open-hearted interest in the world has taken her from jillarooing on a cattle farm to maternity hospitals in Ethiopia, from marshalling a cross-country carnival in northern Uganda to CEO briefings in the back of a tuk-tuk in Cambodia. Hers has been a life of fighting for the underdog only to find out that, sometimes, the underdog is actually her. Taking all dramatic life-turns, side-steps and face-plants in her stride, Lucy has rebuilt her life every time, with love and adventure at its heart, plus a side order of mischief.

Rollicking, rude, brimful with joy and with a take-no-prisoners, bare-all honesty, this audiobook is a call to arms - an audiobook to make you laugh out loud, nod your head in recognition, recharge your life and let loose.

A triumphant validation of life

A triumphant validation of life
A triumphant validation of life. For every soul yearning for flight but afraid to take the leap, this is your Bible. When Lucy Bloom tells us we are all ordinary she is opening the gateway to dreams. When Lucy Bloom tells us that everything we want is on the other side of fear she is sirening us from across the void. Lucy Bloom and the marvelous people who populate her story like Dr Catherine Hamlin, Doc, the Indian Captain, Harlow, Sheba, Hudson, surfer brother Pete, Wendy Whitelock and finally, Lucy's angelic mother are all ordinary in the most extraordinary way. So few people live fearless lives. Henry David Thoreau said "Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to their graves with their song unsung." Lucy Bloom has found traction in flight and her life is a siren song for the rest of us who feel too ordinary to take that leap of faith and trust that our wings will unfurl. Read it and face the fear.

Once I started reading Lucy's book, I couldn't put it down. Her stories are interwoven throughout the chapters on optimism, kindness and charity, among others in such a way that you have to keep reading to find out how each story ends. What an amazing life Lucy has had and I can only imagine what her next memoir will be like. If only my Tinder dates were like Lucy's. A great read!

Lucy’s voice jumps out at you. Well written. Lent it to a friend and it swallowed her up. A perfect read for highly spirited women. Loved it!

5.0 out of 5 stars A life well lived
Reviewed in Australia on 17 March 2023
I loved the raw honesty of this book. The message about the futility of a 'bucket list'. A 'bucket list' might get you to certain places but it's the people you meet along the way, the unexpected adventures, twists and turns in life, where real experience and meaning lie. Memories and friendships are formed in the spaces between. Like Denzel Washington's graduate speech at Penn University, Lucy writes about her life of 'falling forward', learning from experiences, and finding a path through them to something better and better. And taking the time to see what really matters around her. Very beautiful and you sense that there were so many more stories within the stories. It's not surprising that she has built a successful career speaking to large groups of people about whatever they want to hear about - Lucy has the experience and perspective to talk about anything to anyone, I suspect.
