Unabridged Audiobook
I enjoyed the concept and definitely learned new facts about the 18 historical figures, but the delivery was clumsy and even a little cringeworthy in its presentation at times.
As an American fan of Alice's Instagram reels, I chose this book to listen to as my wife and I drove from Chicago to Salt Lake City. Despite the fact that we're, ahem, four decades older than the book title, we found Alice's stories delightful, smart, and surprisingly relevant. Although her historical personas were interesting, I really enjoyed her tales of quirkier characters including Vita Sackville-West and Vivienne Westwood. Vivienne's designs certainly impacted the punk-curious me at age 18. I could listen to Alice's happy British voice all day (and I did!). But I also found her word choice and vocabulary so sharp and engaging that I immediately purchased the print edition so I could savor a second-helping at a slower pace. I highly recommend this book to anyone regardless of your age or country of residence.
