Editorial reviews

"One of the sharpest, funniest voices on YouTube." ( Forbes)

Publisher's summary

Face it - being a young adult in the digital era is one of the hardest things to be. Well, maybe there are harder things in life…but being an adult is difficult! So Grace Helbig has written a guide that’s perfect for anyone who is faced with the daunting task of becoming an adult.

Infused with her trademark saucy, sweet, and funny voice, Grace’s Guide is a tongue-in-cheek handbook for millennials, encompassing everything a young or new (or regular or old) adult needs to know, from surviving a breakup to recovering from a hangover. Read by the author in her inimitable style, Grace’s Guide features interactive elements and exclusive stories from Grace’s own misadventures - like losing her virginity solely because her date took her to a Macaroni Grill - and many other hilarious lessons she learned the hard way.

Amusing and unexpectedly educational, this refreshing and colorful guide proves that becoming an adult doesn’t necessarily mean you have to grow up.

Better than I had even hoped!

Where does Grace's Guide rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This is the first comedy audio book in my library and it has certainly raised the bar for others. She perfectly narrates with the sass and clarity she does in her videos. She shares her ups, downs, and everything in between to help anyone who does have their shit together...aka everyone!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Jersey hair poof.

Which character – as performed by Grace Helbig – was your favorite?

Graaaace??

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Eat Shit! jk don't that bad for you...Just the tip.

Any additional comments?

Truly Grace thank you for sharing your experience and advice. I am 24 and do not have a clue of what I am doing. You have helped me understand myself and provided much needed tips on how to adult. Thank you.

Too Soon, Helbig

While she definitely has a bright future ahead of her, this book is also a bit ahead of it's time. Her career is just starting to develop into something worth reading about and while I'm sure this was a genuine effort on her part as far as writing her first book, one that her fans would enjoy, this is definitely not for anyone expecting it to be more than a smart marketing move for those who will buy the book or audiobook for the sole purpose of supporting her (which is great, go YouTube community!) All in all, if you want to listen to Grace talk for a few hours it would be worth your while to check out her YouTube channel, It's Grace. It's free and it won't leave you with buyer's remorse.

Good entertainment for airplane rides

I listened to the whole book while I was flying to spring break. I'm subscribed to Grace's Chanel on YouTube and I am used to great consistent quality, and I was not disappointed. It's not an exciting book, but one for relaxation.
The book was pretty funny, and had a couple of good tips, while providing somewhat of an autobiography.
My only complaint is that I expected to get an overall bigger message from the book, but I don't feel like that aspect was as strong as the humor.
Other than that, I had a good time listening to the book, and made my flight actually enjoyable. Good job Grace!

OK for young people. Maybe...

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

No way. I want to give it back. It was a mistake at my age.
After having traveled and worked at 54 countries to learn not to stay by the restroom door on a party. Really...
It's for young and insecure people. I was young once but never insecure. It was my fault not to have researched properly.

What do you think your next listen will be?

Don't know.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Grace Helbig?

Yes, she is good. The voice very pleasant

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Nooooo

its Ehh, i love you tho Gracie :*

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

the fact that she reads her own book is great, because shes a great performer but i felt like the book was a bit boring for me. Maybe because the advice felt a bit redundant or inapplicable to my life. It might be because most of her stories are set before i was even born, it might be a great book to someone else though.
