    About this audiobook

    #1 New York Times Bestseller

    By the host of The Grace Helbig Show on E! and the it’sGrace YouTube channel, comedian Grace Helbig offers an irreverent and illustrated guide to life for anyone faced with the challenge of growing up.

    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 how to live online to landing a job to surviving a breakup to decorating a first apartment, and much more. Charmingly illustrated, Grace’s Guide features full-color photos, interactive worksheets, and exclusive stories from Grace’s own misadventures, including her disastrous interview for NBC’s Page Program, her lifelong struggles with anxiety, the first (and also last) time she entered a beauty pageant, meeting her first boyfriend at a high school Latin convention, 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.

      This book is SO GRACE, and that's exactly why I loved it. She didn't take herself too seriously, but also managed to be really genuine, sincere and actually helpful. Also, and this goes without saying, DAMN FUNNY. Grace is just a joy to watch, and now, to read.
    • 3/5
      A little kitchsy but enjoyable. It genuinely had some laugh out load moments about what adults should do in situations, and also had a few pieces of good advice, dressed up as humor.
    • 4/5
      Grace Helbig is witty and entertaining. I definitely enjoyed listening to her thoughts on adulting and even related to a few.
    • 5/5
      I've been a fan of Grace Helbig for a while now. I first discovered her when she and her friend Michelle were making videos together. They always managed to cheer me up on my darkest days. Even then Grace was also making solo videos, but for some reason at the time I didn't watch those as often. I have no idea why.Well, Grace's style of humor is now in book form, a mix of genuine life advice and hilarity that will make anyone feel good. If you enjoy Grace's videos, you'll enjoy this book. Along with advice on dating, making friends, decorating as an adult, some unique cooking recipes, managing a digital life, and even how to get over break-ups and hangovers; Grace also provides a series of photos and stills from some of her videos. It's easy to tell she had fun putting this book together.One of the things I love about Grace, and this comes through in Grace's Guide, is her general attitude. A phrase that gets repeated several times here is "make it fun." If you could boil down Grace's life philosophy into one sentence, I think that would be it. This whole book epitomizes "make it fun," so do yourself and favor and pick up a copy for yourself or that friend who could use a good chuckle. Definitely worth it.
    • 3/5
      Youtuber advice books are always more of a “that was a fun time” rather than “wow my life is different now”
    • 4/5
      Entertaining memoir with hilarious tips about growing up. I was new to Grace's work, but I really enjoyed this one.
    • 1/5
      This book is only worth reading if you're fifteen and the greatest conflict you face during the day is the size of your bangs. Fairly immature without the benefit of being funny.
    • 4/5
      A hilarious, fun-to-read book.In the same way that Hannah Hart's My Drunk Kitchen is less of an actual cookbook and more of a fun-filled, joke-riddled, positive outlook on life, Grace Helbig's Grace's Guide is not a traditional self-help book, but is still a very fun and fulfilling read. Much of the advice is a no-brainer, but is related in a funny way with plenty of humorous anecdotes. The text is sure to make you smile and brighten your day with its optimism even in not so good situations. Reading this book is like talking to a good friend and is sure to make you feel a little bit better about life. A lot of the book is just silly, complete with pictures, making for a nice, easy, feel-good read.
