Moments Of You

By Keltie Knight, Becca Tobin, and Jac Vanek (The LadyGang)

Overview:
Act Like a Lady is a humorous, unfiltered, and refreshingly honest collection of personal essays and advice from the hosts of the LadyGang Podcast: Keltie Knight, Becca Tobin, and Jac Vanek. The book is divided into three sections – Heart, Body, and Soul – each tackling a range of relatable topics from dating disasters and body image to career struggles and emotional growth.

Pros:
1. Funny and Relatable: The book is packed with laugh-out-loud moments, especially if you enjoy bold, unapologetic storytelling. The trio shares their personal missteps with raw honesty, making you feel like you’re chatting with your funniest, most brutally honest friends.
2. Empowering Without Preaching: It doesn’t try to tell women how to be “ladies” in the traditional sense. Instead, it reclaims the idea, encouraging readers to be themselves – flawed, strong, messy, and proud.
3. Diverse Perspective: Each author brings a unique voice and life experience, so whether you’re the type to cry over a breakup, power through the sarcasm, or roll your eyes at it all, you’ll likely connect with at least one of them.
4. Quick and Entertaining Read: With short chapters and casual tone, this book is perfect for light reading and fits well into busy schedules.

Cons:
1. Not for Everyone: If you’re looking for traditional advice or a serious self-help tone, this book might feel too irreverent or chaotic.
2. Podcast Fan Bias: Readers who are unfamiliar with the LadyGang podcast might miss some of the inside jokes or references, although the book generally stands well on its own.
3. Depth May Vary: While there are moments of introspection, the book leans heavily on humor and sass, which might not satisfy readers looking for deeper personal development content.

Final Verdict:
Act Like a Lady is a fun, candid read that embraces the messy, hilarious journey or womanhood. It’s not about telling you how to act – it’s about reminding you that there’s no wrong way to be a woman. Great for fans of comedic memoirs and podcasts like Call Your Girlfriend or Girls Gotta Eat.

Rating: 4.5/5
Recommended for: Millennials and Gen Z women, podcast lovers, and anyone needing a humorous pick-me-up or a reminder that they’re not alone in their chaos.
