Amazing Disgrace: A Book About "Shame"

Product Information

She is a chaotic force of nature and a committed over-sharer who is on a constant, often hilarious, mission to undermine the patriarchy.

On the other hand, there are also toe-curling scenes from the consultation room of a sexual health centre; and an episode from a women’s health summit in which she delivered an ode to her vagina to a room full of models. Now, don’t get me wrong, I absolutely cannot vision Tony Blair trotting into my house for a cuppa, but I can assure you that this book was not just drivel about being fancy.

it’s definitely a funny read, although there was more about politics than shame, but i suppose that’s just because of who she is. She’s in her own limelight, talking about really difficult stuff, making the world her stage and being very brave in doing so. It started as a 2 for me, was definitely 4 of 5 in parts, but averaged at 3 (which I consider good), all because in portions I found it slightly repetitive. It perfectly captured the mess that is growing up and trying to find yourself and fit in, a lot of rejection and jealously, and endless list of terrible decisions and making the same mistakes repeatedly. An acclaimed stand-up, law-changing feminist campaigner, and co-host of the podcast ‘Football, Feminism + Everything In Between’ - with her father, Alastair Campbell – Grace’s debut stand-up show , ‘Why I’m Never Going Into Politics’, was a total sell-out at the Edinburgh Festival.I preferred the first two thirds to the closing sections but I read it all eagerly and ain't nothin gonna make me give this less than five stars.

I am only now beginning to realise how futile it is, trying to impress everybody (especially when they’re not worth my fantastic drunken renditions of Whitney Houston) and I genuinely feel a relief at having accidentally found an ally through the pages of her debut book. This episode Grace talks to influencer and podcaster Oenone Forbat about struggles with body image while growing up, therapy, and the trouble with Instagram vs mental health. Although I skipped the politics (I don't know anything about UK politicians and I don't care either) the rest of the book was really nice to read. By the end of the book, I felt like I could have been Grace’s best mate if I’d just happened to live across the road from her or gone to her secondary school (also attended by Dua Lipa and Campbell won’t let you forget it). But Grace has brilliantly turned these moments into a uniting chuckle (also with a complimentary sigh and eye roll).
