Grace & Style: The Art of Pretending You Have It by Grace Helbig
2.0
I love Grace Helbig and I've been a fan of hers for many years, but I was pretty disappointed in this book. Because I watch her videos and am familiar with her comedic style, I can totally see where she was going with this book, but the humor just did not translate onto the page. I'm sure this book is AMAZING on audio, and I can see many of these bits being super hilarious in a video, but reading the words just didn't capture her verbal delivery. There were many parts I straight up skimmed or skipped with an"alright, I get it" kind of vibe which really made me feel bad because I adore Grace so much, but I honestly felt I was wasting my time reading certain parts of this book. I REALLY enjoyed the "vintage Grace" sections of this book which were stories about her relationship with fashion and style throughout her life and I really wish that more of the book was like this. I would have given a higher rating and enjoyed my entire experience with this book a lot more if she had provided more of these stories. Those sections are really the only reason why I'm not giving this book 1 star. I have yet to read Grace' Guide which I have heard is much more enjoyable, but I'm definitely nervous to pick it up after this read.
In short, skip this title and watch Graces videos OR listen to this on audio instead for a better experience. Sorry, Grace!
