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!! 😩

bookiecharm's review against another edition
I lived in central Texas for years and I knew of lots of Jessicas like Simpson. So there were a lot of familiar threads to her story that I connected to immediately. Jessicas like her are from uber Baptist families and play up the dumb blonde charade. I know how hypocritical their Christian values are and I don’t need to read a memoir like this to reinforce it. This took me back to Waco and I vowed never to go back there again.
Although, I’m curious about the celebrity deep dish forthcoming, I just can’t see myself picking this up again.
Warnings below are up to page 89.
