I just finished Gorgeously Green. I thought it was okay. She tends to rattle on a bit, some of her facts are questionable, and her suggestions are a tad unrealistic too.
(She needs to realize not everyone lives in Southern California, and can afford to spend 100 bucks a month to buy organic face cream)

But-I think her heart was in the right place. If it gets some of her target readers/audience to go a little greener, then that is great because every little bit helps.

I have not read or seen a review on "Gorgeously Green".
If you want to read a sensible book green book "Better Basics for the Home" and "Clean and Green" by Annie Berthold-Bond are good.
