Story Telling By: Tori Spelling

Okay I know your asking me why on earth I read this book, and more importantly why am I admitting to reading this book? It all started, well to be honest before I can even remember, when I became obsessed with celebrities. I remember my Mama Jean (my dad's mom) getting people magazine and I would look through all of her past issues. Then in Junior High and High School I faithfully watched 90210. So a few months ago one of my new teacher friends and I were getting to know each other and somehow my subscription to US Weekly and addiction to watching E! News every night came up. We began talking about all the ridiculous celeb-reality shows that are out there these days- which she hates and I love. She said the only one she actually enjoyed was the one with Tori Spelling in it, which amazingly I had never had the desire to watched. Well it just so happened that I caught an episode that week (the week before the season finale) and saw that they were having a marathon that weekend, so of course I DVRed every one. A lot of that season was about the book, and needless to say, I immediately ordered it one Amazon.

Okay, now that I feel better about defending myself for reading the book- I loved it. Now if you don't care anything about celebrities, especially ones that aren't A list like Tori Spelling, I doubt you would like this book. After watching a few episodes of her and Dean's show, I was amazed at how real they were. I've watched a lot of celeb shows, and most of them are about shopping, drinking, partying, etc. Tori is nothing like that. Her and her friends are so real. At least they come off as that way. In the book, Tori gives a look into the life that many kids and adults would die to have. But it was never about what she wanted. Yeah, I can hear you saying oh poor little rich girl, but who cares how much money is spent on you if it is never about what you want. She proves that she is happier now than ever, without all the glitz and glam her childhood brought her. There were several times in the book where I found myself laughing out loud. She tells about all her experiences, how she was unhappy, and the greatest times of her life without coming across that she is better than people or that she wants you to feel sorry for her. She does a great job of just being honest- telling it like it was- for better or for worse. And the most amazing part of it all is her ability to make fun of herself!

Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons

A must, must read for any woman who has enjoyed other women's friendship. I have never laughed and cried so much in a book. And the scariest thing was I could see myself and my friends in so many situations and aspects. It almost gave me a calming feeling that everything is going to be okay, which trust me, I needed that feeling right about now. You will feel so drawn into these women's lives that you'll be sad when you havta leave.
