Living Like Audrey is not your typical biography and it offers a fresh look on how the actress lived. I enjoyed this immensely for the most part and found it well-researched. However, there were times where the author seemed to be putting down other girls/women in favour of raising Audrey higher, which didn't sit too well with me. But overall, it was a nice, light (not quite) biographic book with an adorable design.

This was a love letter from one author to Audrey. I don't think I ever admired anyone or anything as much as Ms. Loustalot admires Audrey. This was a pleasant read, quick and short, but it left me feeling content. Still, I wouldn't call this work a book, it is more of a guide to being happy and elegant.
I liked how positive the lessons are. From what I gathered, everyone who knew Audrey was in awe of her and she could light up every room. So, it is nice to read about someone who was like that, but it made me think, how real can that be and can anyone be so over-the-top perfect all the time? I believe there are great personalities who people remember and strive to be, but this gave no clue about downsides of being Audrey Hepburn and in the end, it seemed unrealistic. I am sure that there were some life lessons that could have been included here about her flaws, as well.
This was more-less a collection of commentaries and interviews that others gave over the period of time about Audrey, so I am not sure how much this author tried to write something original that we haven't read before. However, my overall experience is positive, I feel like watching My fair lady one more time.

Such a sweet insider look at my favorite star, Audrey Hepburn. Full of wonderful quotes from those who knew her best.
A lovely book!

Living Like Audrey would make a great coffee table/side table type book for any lover of film. The book has the most gorgeous pictures of Audrey and her costars as well as quotes from friends and family about her personality, nature and life.
The book is divided into different sections that explain key aspects of her personality and being like grace, humility and style.
I highly recommend getting the book as a hard copy instead of an ebook so that the full pictures can be enjoyed.

My review is based on the edition I read, I was given the chance to read an early book edition on NetGalley. I mention that in part because I think this is the kind of book you want to purchase in all of its hardback glory. I think it would make for a nice gift for someone who is a fan of Audrey Hepburn, or fashion, classic movies or just likes a life style guide.
I'd rather have it out on a coffee table than on my IPad.
That being said, I always appreciate the chance to read a galley.
I found this to be a very interesting story about Audrey Hepburn, it also included good advice, beautiful quotes and gorgeous images from movies.
My favorite genre is fiction, so this will likely be a higher review for someone more into this style of book. I do think it's interesting and beautifully done.

Audrey has always been my favorite Old Hollywood leading lady because she was beautiful on the inside and out. They don't make em like her anymore!
In this book, the author has given us a lot of simple yet profound ways we can be more like Audrey, i.e. a better person in general. I highlighted large chunks of this book, as it's good advice. There are also a lot of great quotes and pictures. This would make a great coffee table book.
Highly recommended!

A perfect read to fans of Audrey. A good read, very enjoyable

Apart from the problem listed above I enjoyed this book I love Audrey, and books about her, I love books about style, never stars, and if it's combined with a self help/spiritual elements even better. I was able to adapt this book review to the theme of my blog Simple Life Mum., and felt moved after some time off not reviewing (for personal reasons) to review this book. I'll try to add an affiliate's Amazon link that would press wouldn't allow me otherwise good luck with the sales of this book

Very interesting and enjoyable book. Perfect for Audrey Hepburn fans.
Thank you Netgalley for this book

Living Like Audrey was a very informative and entertaining book about the legendary Audrey Hepburn. I was quite impressed by how she helped the Dutch resistance during WWII.
The photos of Ms. Hepburn and many of her famous costars like Gregory Peck and Cary Grant were an added bonus to this delightful book. There were many first person accounts of what the real Audrey was like…which was basically what you saw was what you got. She was never the typical Hollywood diva like so many of her contemporaries. Audrey stood apart then and will always be remembered even now as a class act and a true legend of all time. This was a great read, not on for Ms. Hepburn fans, but for anyone interested in reading about a remarkable and selfless person.

Audrey Hepburn was so elegant, humble, and all around relatable, and she is understandably still so adored to this day. I was very excited to read this book, and it did not disappoint. This is a must have for fans. Victoria Loustalot breaks down everything that makes Audrey so great, and it’s clear just how much some of us could benefit from following her example and living a little more like Audrey. This is full of lovely pictures and quotes from her, and those closest to her. It isn’t some monotonous biography spanning every minor detail of her life from birth to passing. While reading, you can feel the authors love for her subject as she conveys all of the iconic actress’s best and most admirable qualities in a conversational manner, making this a truly enjoyable, yet informative read.
