If Jessica Simpson is as empathetic, honest, kind and as real in her memoir as she is in real life- I'd like to believe she is one of few celebrities truly deserving of the wealth and fame she's amassed. Hell, I'd even be her friend, too! 😅
Her memoir was cohesive, organized, and was so emotionally charged, that listening to her narrative in audiobook format made me cry several times.
Donating her time and money to different causes, all while juggling her careers, family, and the subsequent public eye, is so honorable... Where was all the media coverage on THAT? Instead, she's just been ripped apart for her appearance time and again...
I thought several times while listening to her tell her story, "like damn, wish I had an OUNCE of that empathy for others!" Jessica Simpson is a woman of faith, and has put in the work to be the person God set before her. She's truly an inspiration.
I've never been a die-hard fan of her music, but never disliked her either, but the songs at the end of her audiobook feel so raw, personal, and heartfelt- I'm a little disappointed to see she hasn't made more music... Maybe one day she will... If the media will stop f*cking bullying people!! 😩

Also I hate every man who has ever hurt this woman. Shame on you.
Anyway, Jessica expresses herself so beautifully throughout this memoir. She addresses the reader like a friend, which makes the listening experience more intimate. There is such an honest, vulnerable quality to her writing that put me on the verge of tears more than once. In fact, Jessica herself begins to cry during the reading of this book a few times, which made me openly weep. It felt good, though. It felt therapeutic. This is actually the first time I've ever heard someone sound so vulnerable reading their own memoir.
I just loved this so much as a longtime fan of her music and her personality. However, I think that anyone can take something from this book, even if by some chance you've never heard her name before. It is such a wonderful experience. Jessica Simpson defense squad member for life.
