Book Review: The Honest Life by Jessica Alba

What I liked: The book was full of accessible information and she even mentioned specific brands. The last chapter, "Honest Inspiration", was my favorite because it included more creative and DIY ideas.

What I didn't like: While I admit that it did amuse me to picture Jessica Alba as my girlfriend counseling me on why certain chemicals are "sketchy", the informal writing style took away from the book and I did not find it a pleasurable read. I felt like I was reading a magazine, and I hold higher standards for the books that I read.

Bottom line: Read for specific information, not for enjoyment.
