Synopsis

Three women, three voices, three generations: the Silbery family share their most personal memories and lessons learned.

You know them as Isabelle, Kerry and Emmie Silbery from Foxtel and Channel 10 series Gogglebox, in which they give their thoughts on the week's TV highlights and show what a supportive and loving family they are. In Out Of The Box, these strong, independent women open up like never before, sharing intensely personal stories and considered opinions on the female experience — and how that has changed during their lifetimes. Infidelity, grief, motherhood, money, feminism, body hair... no topic is off limits. The book will inspire mothers and daughters to start talking and sharing — to have the conversations that will bring them closer together.

Delving deep beneath the surface we see on our screens, this memoir is equal parts moving, hilarious and devastating as Isabelle, Kerry and Emmie talk about moments in their lives that their legion of fans would have never expected. Personal struggles, family heartache and plenty of sex, there is much more to the Silberys than meets the eye. Through it all, we get an even greater sense of how close and connected these mothers and daughters are. Like any other family, they don't see eye to eye on everything, but no matter what, their love for each other always triumphs.

Goodreads review by Suzanne on December 17, 2024

I found this book very negative and I couldn't finish it. I have infant children (Nuerodivergent) and decided to read this book to further my knowledge and stay abreast in the area.

Goodreads review by Sam on April 06, 2025

As an autistic person with experience across the wide spectrum of autistic people and their support networks, I read Out of the Box with mixed feelings. The book presents itself as a multi-voiced guide for parents, teachers, and policymakers. And yes, many voices are heard: parents, children, educat......more

Goodreads review by Kate Jax on February 08, 2025

The writing in the book was clear and concise, but I found it raised a lot of issues (particularly in regards to the shortfalls of our education system) without offering too much advice or information other than to ‘work with the teachers’.. great advice if you have teachers who have the knowledge o......more
