I listened to this on audio and it was amazing. Read by the author, Jessica Simpson reveals and reflects upon her life. There were many times you could hear the tears in her voice as she read emotional, intimate details of her life. I thought this was a great read/listen.

First and foremost, the media owes Jessica Simpson an apology. Just as big of an apology as the one they owe Britney. Listening to Jessica talk about the shit the media put her through made me wanna scream and I just wanted to hold her.

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.
