In *Harry Styles is Life*, Kathleen Perricone crafts a vibrant tribute to one of today’s most beloved pop culture icons. As someone who was not very familiar with Harry Styles or One Direction—beyond enjoying his catchy songs—I found this book to be a captivating introduction to the man behind the music.

Perricone’s writing radiates enthusiasm, which perfectly captures the passion of Styles’ dedicated fanbase. It is a superfan’s guide that dives into everything from his bold fashion choices to his musical evolution, all while still spotlighting his philanthropic efforts. It shows the reader the side of Harry Styles that resonates so deeply with his fans: his authenticity, charm, and openness about vulnerability.

What stood out most to me was Perricone’s skill in blending intriguing facts with a profound understanding of Styles’ significance in today’s cultural landscape. She thoughtfully explores his lyrics, which often touch on themes of love, identity, and self-acceptance. Interwoven throughout the book are touching stories from his fans that truly illustrate the inspirational impact his journey has had on countless individuals.

I will say that this book leans heavily on a superfan's perspective, offering rich insights for those already “in the know” so I found myself wishing for more context about his early career and broader cultural influence. However, for die-hard fans, this book serves as a delightful and thorough tribute to both Harry Styles and his dedicated following.

In keeping with her other works on pop culture icons, Perricone fills this book with colorful images and memorabilia that celebrate Styles' artistic flair, making it a beautiful addition to any coffee table or bookshelf.

“Harry Styles is Life” officially releases on October 8, 2024.

I want to give a heartfelt thank you to NetGalley, Quarto Publishing Group, and Kathleen Perricone for the opportunity to read this advanced copy.

As a huge Harry Styles fan, I thoroughly enjoyed this book although I would have loved it more if it were in order of what era of Harry' life was being talked about. Overall, I would definitely recommend this book to new Harry Styles fans.

Thank you netgallery for allowing me to read Harry Styles Is Life in exchange for my honest review.

Would be a good gift for any Harry Styles fan, has a lot of information on his influences, music, style and general growing up in the limelight. Some of the information I'd read before but it is nice to have it all together and the illustrations are beautiful. Would recommend for new and old fans of Harry

Perfect for Harries who want a beautifully curated book or for Christmas presents for the harries in your life!

I'll be honest, my knowledge of Harry Styles is pretty limited. This book gave me a lot of new information and in an interesting format! I was not expecting the watercolor art and it's absolutely beautiful. Kathleen kept engagement by changing how information was given, such as listing a Harry A-Z where each bit of info started with a new letter, and a portion of the book being entirely about his tattoos. All of these details were very cool and different from a lot of celebrity bio type books.

Thanks to Quarto Publishing Group - becker and mayer, and NetGalley for an eARC of this book for an honest review!

This book is pretty similar to any sort of celebrity gift book you'd come across -- lots of recycled content from other interviews, magazines, etc. If you're looking for a gift for someone who recently became a Harry Styles fan, this would be great and they'd learn a lot about his career. But for longtime, devoted fans of his, there's nothing really new for them in this book.

Thanks to Quarto and NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you netgalley for this ARC as someone who likes harry styles alot but didnt know too much about him since his solo debut it was nice to read more about his career since the band broke up and it was nice to learn more about his upbringing and stuff and life before fame i enjoyed the artwork before each new chapter and the pink pages and such. This would definitely be a cute book for someone who doesnt know much about him at all and wants to learn more about him and his accomplishments. Quick read as well!

I am, admittedly, not a Harry Styles superfan. I don't really listen to his music, and I'd be lying if I said I knew anything about him as person. Still, I was intrigued by the premise of this book; whether or not I'm knowledgeable about him, Harry Styles has clearly had an impressive impact on pop culture. This book details some of the highlights of his life and career, and the illustrations provide a nice overview of his fashion, which is something I have typically enjoyed. This would make a great gift for that person in your life who worships at the altar of Harry Styles!

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC! Obviously I got right to reading this as I am a super fan. Really enjoyed the journey this book took on through Harry’s life. Enjoyed the illustrations a lot, do wish they were more in order based on what era of Harry’s life was being spoken about. Overall social 4 ⭐️’s.

A perfect book for all fans of Harry Styles summarizing his life, his carrer and his achievements! Additional the drawings of his iconic outifts just perfectly summarize his style and his influence on what is trending in fashion,

Thank you to netgalley for sending me a copy of this book in exchange for a review. I like harry styles and loved one direction as a child so reading a behind the scenes with illustrations that look amazing was a fun experience and transported me back to my childhood. I think this will be a great gift for anyone who loves harry styles.

What a fun book for the Harry Styles enthusiast! I've only recently started following him, but really enjoyed this compendium featuring beautiful illustrations and information about his life and music career. I really enjoyed the focus on his fashion in the illustrations. He is always dressed so impeccably. This would make an excellent gift for a fan!

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for providing this ebook. All thoughts are my own.
