review 1: I L0VE THIS BOOK. I am a big lover of the era of Audrey Hepburn, with all the class. However, the class and grace of Audrey Hepburn back in the 60's wouldn't really be realistic now. Jordan Christy puts it all into perspective, modernizes it so it's more attainable. I want to buy multiple copies of this book and just hand it out. This book is full of good advice and I think every teenage girl needs to read a book like this.
review 2: Jordan Christy had some great things to say! I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the principles behind it. What kept me from giving this book a higher rating was the fact that there were some things I just DID NOT agree with, and overall there seemed to be a factor of slut-shaming, which I am not okay with (no matter how much I... more disagree with some people's lifestyle choices). Still, there were many wonderful things said in this book that this generation desperately needs to hear, and it was a fun read! There were fun quizzes and even some yummy sounding recipes thrown in!In the end, I do recommend it, and if you are someone like me who misses the absolute grace and poise of people like Audrey Hepburn, and you wish our culture had more of it, then you will enjoy this read. less

Astolate

This book was written for young women between the ages of 19-25. Even though I am almost 40, I still found it to be insightful. I'd love to have a copy to put in my classroom for my high school students to read, but they don't know who Hepburn is, not to mention, they may not know who Hilton is either. This book is a bit dated, with MySpace references galore, and although I found the overuse of the exclamation point to be distracting, it is a good read. I'd love to see an updated version come out in the near future.

I just couldn't do it. I got through to page 89, and I had to do something I've never done before: say goodbye to a book, unfinished. The text is smothered in parentheses, exclamation points, and more Hilton-type colloquialisms than Hepburn-honed articulation. The first 50 pages are so dense with quotes from other sources, some sources even unreferenced because the author couldn't find the original, that it was hard to decipher any original thought whatsoever.
