Love it!
I started reading this book as soon as It landed on my doorstep. I've always been a fan of Jessica and I've been anxiously awaiting this book. Definitely find yourself a comfortable spot and brings snacks because you're not going to want to stop reading it. I love how brave, raw and open she allowed herself to be in this book. Definitely recommend it!

Came for the tea, but stayed for so much more!
I admit, I bought this book for all the tea spilling that’s been hyped. I got so much more. I was a teen when Jessica became popular and remember buying Jessica’s first album and singing along to her ballads. This book showed me a side that none of us fans saw. This book is so honest and refreshing. Jessica is relatable and I feel like she is sitting across from me telling me about herself. I’m incredibly inspired by Jessica and her devout faith and perseverance. This book is a just fantastic and well-written

Always been a huge Jessica fan.
It's a great honest book. I've always loved Jessica. I'm loving it. Sad to see the bad reviews that aren't related to the book at all. People who are upset about their book not being signed. That's not a reason for a bad review on the book.

Embarrassing
Was curious what all the hype was about. In 2004-ish I watched a few episodes of Newlyweds and found it so bizarre that a grown, married woman didn't know how to do basics like laundry and would ask "Like, is there a maid service for, like, celebrities?" with a serious face. Her mother had always picked up after her so she wasn't used to picking up after herself. Nevermind actually cleaning anything. And so on. I couldn't watch anymore, it was so cringe-y. This book reminded me of that reality show. JS has no idea, NO CLUE, what it's like to have REAL actual problems. She got help for substance addiction. Good for her. But as a childhood abuse survivor and cancer survivor myself, I could not relate to her "let's get through this together, dear reader!" approach. Most of us live in the real world. She is spoiled and has been her whole life. Plenty of money, a lavish lifestyle, multiple successful businesses, assistants, maids, cooks, chauffeurs, stylists, perfect health, a loving, supportive husband and 3 very healthy children. Isn't that wonderful?? It's unclear why anyone that blessed beyond belief would spiral out of control the way she did. She had some unresolved childhood issues, but frankly, who doesn't?

Love, Love, Love!
I grew up with Jessica and have thoroughly enjoyed reading her history, her journey, and how it all led to where she is today. The book is raw and real, just like Jessica. I highly recommend. For whatever reason, people have felt compelled to leave a bad review because the Amazon copy wasn't signed. I didn't expect the Amazon copy to be signed. From what I understood, it was only signed if you pre-ordered through her website.

Worth the wait...
I pre-ordered this book. Just got it and made it through the prologue. I've laughed and cried already! So many wonderful sayings, especially "...but to think about me right now." Excellent. I am a big fan and I am so looking forward to starting this journey.

Great book
I really like Jessica Simpson, I love her song “I wanna love you forever” and used to watch newlyweds all the time back when it was on MTV, so when I knew she had a book coming out I just had to buy it. This is a great autobiography that details so much of Jessica’s life, I think she shows us her true, raw emotions and draws you into her story. It is funny at times and sad at times. It is a book that I was unable to put it down and I was sad when I had finished it, just because I wanted to keep going. I highly recommended this book if you are a fan of Jessica Simpson. The only criticism I have is that the book does not have any photographs in it.

Truly inspiring
Such a raw and yet comforting story that allows you to see the truth behind a woman whose image has always been based on assumptions. Her faith in God and truth about her struggles have shined a light over her and revealed what a true model she really is. I could relate to so many occurrences and feel encouraged to be the strong woman she is. Loved this book so much

Captivating from start to finish
Captivating from start to finish, sad I got to the end of the book so fast as I really enjoyed getting stuck in whenever I had a free moment during the day. As a fan of Jessica’s fromHer newlyweds days, parts were sad to read but her faith kept her going and her strength shone through. A beautiful memoir
