What I admire the most about Grace Campbell is that there’s no hiding behind a performance for her readers: her life is her literal material and she delves into it with a bravery that has me shook. Her ancedotes about fanny farting about trips, about trips to the sexual health clinic as the in place were entirely hilarious. But I now think that's because I had a harder time relating to (dis)Grace in her younger teenage years (be it because of difference in personal experiences, societal, cultural. I went into this book blind, not knowing who Grace Campbell was and her links to politics, her father being Alastair Campbell. But the truth is, I was in a bad place and I didn’t rate myself enough to say no to just a bit of attention.

We don’t choose to carry it, in fact, most of the time we don’t even know we are carrying it, because it’s so inherently coded into our behaviour and our attitudes. However, felt that in parts the book was a little preachy and repetitive and I ended up skipping through some pages. The Washington Post wrote that the album's "combination of pretty melody and ugly thoughts is utterly contemporary. Depending on the highs and lows of your own early 20s, episodes of chasing blokes who really, really don’t want to shag you might resonate; as might getting kicked out of Rowan’s in Finsbury Park.

Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. She also gives multiple trigger warnings before discussing potentially triggering subjects, which I always respect in books of this calibre.
