Summary
For as long as she can remember, Grace Campbell has been told that she doesn't suit her name. But being graceful is no fun anyway.
Growing up in a world of privilege and politics, she had a lot to feel confident about. But she was also a record-breaker when it came to feeling shame. Shame about sex, shame about rejection, shame about mental health.
But over time and with a 24-carat-gold dose of female friendship, Grace has turned shame into a defiant sense of self. At only 26, Grace has got a lot to learn about being an adult, but she's already got a lot to share about being a disgrace and how she came to be utterly, disgustingly, disgracefully proud of it.
It's the audiobook every young woman should listen to and every young man should worry about.
Critic reviews
"It wins my prize for "best cover art of the year"..." (Caitlin Moran)
"This book is hilarious, Grace is a bloody badass, finally my vagina has a voice!" (London Hughes)
"An outpouring of truth, wit, and beautiful comedic wisdom from the hilarious and laudably liberated Grace Campbell. As I feel the echoes of my ancestors' shame, Amazing Disgrace assured me that this inspirational new generation of young women are so much more than their fathers' daughters and their husbands' wives. They're honestly f--king merciless. It's about time. I loved it." (Katherine Ryan)

Funny, liberating, uplifting and gorgeous.
A very relatable and joyful account of discovering what it’s like to become a part of women supporting women, the work that needs to be done in intersectional feminism and the absolute fuzzy and warm feeling of deep and meaningful friendships.

This book should be issued as standard Sex Ed!
I’m a 57 year old woman with 2 daughters in their early 20s. Wow. I wish this book existed 15 years ago.
I howled with laughter, nearly cried at the stories of rape, shame and regret, and got angry at the appalling lack of relevant sex ed that happens way too late in schools. Too many parents, along with the system, are leaving daughters horrifically vulnerable, while they’re trying to protect them. So naive to the reality of the heady mix of drink, drugs, testosterone, and girls’ need to be popular.
Bravo Grace!
Oh and how ironic that one of the first reviews I saw of this book on Audible was a bitter woman, attacking another woman… with closet trolls ‘Finding it helpful’….I despair.

Hysterical and liberating
The most honest, relatable, funny, liberating book I’ve ever read. All my thoughts and feelings have been validated and I’ve let go of a lot of shame. Every young woman should read this.

Inspirational
This book is incredible, there were parts where I laughed out loud. I found it so relatable and felt like I learnt so much, not just about feminism but the book made me reflect on my own behaviour. I felt an increase in my confidence after each chapter. Thankyou Grace, please write more books.
