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.

Made me love her even more!

Grace is one of my favorite youtubers and this book just made me love her that much more! She's so sweet and down to earth. Most relatable person too evidently ^^^

Oh Grace!

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

Possibly, depends on the friend and what she/he is looking for. I expected more stories and less lists, instead there were lots of lists and very few stories. The title of the book makes accurately portrays what 'Adult-ing' involves and how much we do (or do not) grow as time goes on.

Would you recommend Grace's Guide to your friends? Why or why not?

See response above

What aspect of Grace Helbig’s performance would you have changed?

I enjoyed her performance, the joke delivery was typical Helbig and elicited a giggle or two in my cubicle.

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

Yes

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!

Funny

As a big fan of Grace Helbig I was so excited to listen to this book. It did and didn't meet my expectations but overall I enjoyed it and would listen again.
The comedy style is classic Grace, serious statements with that sarcastic undertone that gets the point across yet is still hilarious. I will be honest, the book is pretty much Grace listing off tip after tip of being a grown up, although hilarious, I personally was expecting more story and less straight up tips. Although this could be due to the fact that I had not heard anything about the actual book prior to listening.
Despite the fact that it's mostly a list, it was still very funny and although several things she says seem like pointless punch lines just for laughs, there is a lot of actual meaning and true advice underneath. It also gave a refreshing, new perspective of a side of her more personal life that her fans do not normally, if ever, see.
I would definitely recommend this and I will be listening to it again!

Yay!

I like how you feel like you're included on a secret. It's like a cheat code or lifehacks (to a certain degree)! Overall a fun book, worth the money and time.
Happy reading/listening!

Very funny and true to Grace.

Loved this because it felt like Grace was telling me a story as a friend. Even if you're not into YouTube, it's a great guide that's as funny and as quirky as its author. Great guide to life for introverts.
