Grace & Style: The Art of Pretending You Have It by Grace Helbig
2.0
The fact that a light book took me 3 months of fighting aggressively to read it and winds up with me skipping through (and not even to the end) might be all I need to say.
I love Grace! I didn't super love the first book but I would argue that in terms of readable content it was better than this book.
I had to skip all the sweatpants diaries entries. I had to skip the 'if you wear your makeup like this, this is my joke about how the rest of your life is' paragraphs. Which is to say clearly this is why I didn't finish the book. Was more work trying to figure out where the advice was buried in here than I wanted.
I know that if you want lifestyle advice your first bet probably isn't going to be to read a comedian's book but since I like Grace's YouTube (and podcast) I figured why not give it a chance? Funny and informative! Sadly, not so much of either for me
