I remember a few years ago she went off on Twitter because another influencer had ‘ripped off’ her resistance bands that had the peach emoji design. She implied she was pursuing legal action but don't think anything came of it. She doesn't own Apple's peach emoji and as much as she likes to claim, she didn't invent fabric resistance bands.

I’m not a book editor (actually a content manager) but Jesus Christ if that poorly written drivel landed in my approve box, it would have red crosses all over it!
Her use of punctuation is appalling, her sentences are way too long with way too many commas and her writing style is just completely jumbled. Why does she use so many hyphens??? Her sentences would have so much more ~nuance~ if she used full stops where they’re supposed to be used.

Did you notice she said she had a week off after she finished her book writing, but completely failed to mention the fact she spent that week getting lit in dubai at illegal parties

also people who have busy full time jobs that involve a lot of reading etc do no want to spent their spare time reading articles. I spent each day Monday - Friday in front of a computer working hard. In my spare time I’m not reading articles to “better myself” thanks and I doubt many people in a full time busy job would either

She hasn’t publicly discussed what happened with her relationships with any of them other than in her deleted breakup video. Aaron seems a bit off, judging by his lyrics and talking about lockdown as if it is somehow unjustified. I don’t think it’s fair to speculate on what happened. I do however want to highlight the fact that Aaron doesn’t really seem like a good person once you look at his public content and stop thinking about how he came across in Grace’s old videos.
I want to highlight it because I used to think he seemed really nice, honest, ethical and humble and think that other people might think this about him too. In light of some recent events, I don’t feel comfortable contributing to or watching a narrative where he was a good person and she wasn’t, same with any of her relationships, because it just feels a bit too close to the “X was really nice and Y was terrible, X would NEVER do anything to upset Y” angle, which as a narrative does a real number on people (as in everyone who is, not anyone in particular) in abusive relationships.
Edit: TW for abuse - without baiting out my life too much, my abuser was a pillar of the community and even as a child, when I misbehaved, adults in the community would say “what would [abuser’s name] think”, which fucked my head immensely. the one time I did report it, the adult didn’t believe me and thought I was lying for attention. a whole safeguarding system failed partly because people trusted my abuser and thought I was an annoying, needy child. So I’m really on edge about this sort of “I like X, I don’t like Y, X probably did nothing wrong” thing

have just been reading some of the posts on wednesday about grace bringing up her abuse (this thread has probably moved on by now lol) but just wanted to say i went to oxford at the same time as grace/we have mutual friends, and was told by a friend of hers that the abuse came from aaron. he was very controlling, she would post herself at dinner/out with friends on insta after they'd broken up and soon after he would turn up. i think she might even have had to look into getting a restraining order but was told this a while ago so don't want to say it as a fact. of course i think the criticisms of her on this forum are extremely valid and it was out of place for her to bring up abuse to distract from her privilege, but i only felt it fair to say that the abuse/ptsd she referred to wasn't trivial.

wtf is it with rich kids boasting about their scholarships??? its a weird kind of status symbol--used to downplay their family's wealth when being with middle/lower class people. of course, in elitist circles, it's a matter of showing off how intelligent, talented & hard working they are. do they realize that some people's education & thus career depends on scholarships? that some people might have to give up on higher education because a privileged & privately educated kid with a first class cv and recommendation letters from their parent's friends got the scholarship instead? (not saying this happened to grace but you get my point)
[I get that wealthy parents often want to teach their children a lesson by not supplying them with infinite amounts of money, making them work and sort their finances on their own (so they can build their own empire before the trust fund kicks in!). still, I can't get over the absurdity of it all]

Hahahaha I got rejected with v similar grades. For me it was the pre interview ‘not-an-exam-but-totally-an-exam’ exam. Walked out like wow that was hard and my grammar school mates (who had moved to a state sixth form to try and benefit from the state school quota at ox) told me they had been practicing these tests since year 9. Another eg of the insidious privilege !Kind of off topic but has anyone here actually applied for Oxford? I got 2 A’s and A* in my A Levels and applied for Oxford for Archaeology and Anthropology. My parents think they saw ‘Lives/From Liverpool and threw my application away’

Her writing is so fucking hard to read! I have to read each sentence a few times before I actually understand what she's waffling on about.
As @cookiemunchmunch said, why is she speaking for a whole generation? I'm 27 and I'm certainly not suffering from an identity crisis or burn out, and I doubt any of Grease's teen fanbase are either. Who is the target market for this book, I'm genuinely confused
