When Allison first started on tiktok I was engrossed with her content, couldn't wait for new videos to post, loved them all! Then one day she wrote a post saying why she blocked people and it was for such petty reasons. To widely proclaim that you are proud to be doing this showed that she was unable to take constructive feedback on her posts. I read all the comments on her posts, no one is nasty, but people may politely disagree on her take and for her to say its her way or the highway told me she's not evolved enough as an adult in her craft. Since this soured me on her, I opted to borrow this book from the library instead of paying her for it.

First I was surprised by how small the book was, then once I started reading half the pages were pictures. She also had a bunch of blank color pages, it then made it clear that she didn't have enough content to write a full book and thus needed a lot of filler pages. She makes a list of must have items in your closet and lists a black turtleneck. Really? I'm not Steve Jobs, this is not a staple or necessity.

I also let my mother borrow this book and her first observation is why should she take fashion advice from someone who has no sense of style. I already knew Allison dressed androgynous and never tells you what was on trend, because she doesn't follow trends. All the pictures of models or herself in the book in jeans and blazers were uninspiring and not interesting. For a fashion stylist, she only displayed one style of fashion - menswear - in the book. None of the photos were helpful, who needs dozens of pictures of blazers? She should have included pictures of her clients.
