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. 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.

Booklist (starred review): "Amazing Disgrace is written as if Samper is chatting with the reader over a bottle of prosecco, and it offers endless (often laugh-out-loud) musings from the scatological to the sartorial. In many ways this book served as a validation that I wasn't alone in my teenage experiences and feelings.As a self-proclaimed “book about shame”, I think there are relatable topics in this book for most people, especially women. This however was an easy and funny read - it made me laugh at the right points, and I thought the darker moments were very honest and heartfelt. I went into this book blind, not knowing who Grace Campbell was and her links to politics, her father being Alastair Campbell. Ummmm, I don't wanna say I didn't enjoy it because there were plenty of moments that really resonated with me and also I laughed out loud at, but I duno.

I’ve seen her stand up twice in London (most recently at her show in Soho a few months ago), love her social media content that provides me with laughs when I’m procrastinating and love all of her podcasts. In Amazing Disgrace: The Voicenotes, Grace Campbell, the self-proclaimed queen of disgrace, will interview her guests on all the most disgraceful things they’ve ever done, and then they will give advice to members of the public on their own personal shame dilemmas. However, felt that in parts the book was a little preachy and repetitive and I ended up skipping through some pages. Things like her right to privacy or her relationships with her parents, which were inevitably strained by the bucktoothed allure of Blair. Alright, I gotta admit I wasn't sure I would like the book when I started it; the classic feeling of.An outpouring of truth, wit, and beautiful comedic wisdom from the hilarious and laudably liberated Grace Campbell. There’s frequent jabs at the stiff upper lips of Etonians, middle-aged white men oblivious to their privilege and stale conquests who make you feel like shit for a bit, but serve their ultimate purpose when you’re going through a glow-up, as a solid reminder of what not to settle for.

I know some people have really enjoyed this and some haven’t, that’s totally fine, the book world would be boring if everyone loved the same books. I totes relate to this and have genuinely wondered on many occasions how I would still be standing were it not for the lovely interventions of my fab friends when I’m up shit’s creek or about to make a very bad life decision at a house party full of strangers that don’t have my best interests at heart. Amazing Disgrace is a candid, humorous and introspective reflection on Grace Campbell’s personal experiences of shame, with chapters drawing upon the big guns like romantic conquests, rejection, sexual assault and mental health. Another reason I related so much to the book was that there’s a self-awareness that runs throughout the chapters, acknowledging the intersectionality of women and their experiences, the common grounds and the vast differences across socioeconomic backgrounds, racial identities, sexualities and beyond.From the first encounter, when Grace pleasures herself, to the wild drug and drink fuelled nights of one night stands, as well as her journey learning to love herself, vagina included.

Grace Campbell makes no bones about her privileged background and this is refreshing and leads to a book that is both an autobiography and an empowering guide to how to accept yourself and every part of you. The inimitable Gerald Samper is back, with his musings on the absurdities of modern life and his entertaining asides during which he comments on everything from publishing to penile implants, celebrity sportswomen to Australian media moguls.She is also Alistair Campbell’s daughter which, I can’t lie, did leave me a little scared to read the book. 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).
