In 2011, the pair published their first book together, titled "Ode to Happiness." Grant shared how she and Reeves started working on the project together, saying it was initially meant as a joke between two friends. "Ode to Happiness" aims to offer a unique approach to beating depression by blending literature and art.

The book incorporates Reeves' writings and musings on life and the nature of happiness and depression while pairing these with Grant's playful pictures and drawings. After putting it together, Grant merely intended to offer it to Reeves as a gift, but things soon became bigger than that.

Although many on the internet were over the moon to see Reeves finally in a happy relationship after all the trauma he experienced throughout his life, many weren't as sure about Grant. Internet users criticized her looks, writing, "Keanu is 58 she's 50. She should just dye her hair," and "Grandma?"

Grant started going grey in her twenties, and by the time she reached her mid-thirties, her hair was entirely white. While she chooses to keep it this way as a statement, she also believes people should be able to choose how to look and what makes them feel confident. She has adopted a "fearless" attitude and her self-assured nature certainly helps her face obtuse commentary.
