The author of this book is Grace Helbig, the host of it&#8217;sGrace, a YouTube\u00a0vlog(video+blog) where Grace enthralls\u00a0viewers with everything from quirky food recipes, teaching people how to fall down in public,\u00a0to even taking a good hard look at how the President chooses to dress himself. She might also be familiar to you as a guest star on Hannah Hart&#8217;s vlog, My Drunk Kitchen (check out Hannah&#8217;s book, <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.davenportlibrary.com\/reference\/my-drunk-kitchen-by-hannah-hart\/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>My Drunk Kitchen<\/em><\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>In <em>Grace&#8217;s Guide: The Art of Pretending to be a Grown-Up<\/em>, Grace talks her readers through the little tips that she wished someone would have told her when she was in college, dealing with anxiety, trying to be a good party guest, making adult friends, and dealing with all the aspects of friend and significant-other relationships. Some of her advice ranges from the quirky (don&#8217;t get stuck with the pet at the party), the\u00a0painful\u00a0(make peace with the idea of failing when asking someone out &#8211; realize it might happen, then get over it!), and the helpful (get out of the house and be\u00a0around other humans after a break-up). This book is broken up into multiple sections about a variety of different\u00a0scenarios that people who are trying to be grown-ups will face on a daily basis. In addition to her advice, Grace imparts &#8220;Mom&#8217;s Words of Wisdom,&#8221; handy acronyms for you to remember the advice she just gave you, and even little worksheets for you to fill out.<\/p>\n<p>Grace tackles difficult topics that need to be talked about in such a fun and entertaining manner that readers don&#8217;t even realize that she&#8217;s actually helping.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Grace&#8217;s Guide: The Art of Pretending to be a Grown-Up\u00a0is a guide for anyone and everyone who needs help in any situation (broad description, but hang on, I promise it will make sense).
