Publisher's summary

The Real Housewives of New York City fan favorite Dorinda Medley takes us inside her roller-coaster life and iconic Blue Stone Manor to share how we, too, can Make It Nice.

Throughout her life, Dorinda Medley has always strived to “make it nice” regardless of the circumstances. In her incredibly candid memoir, the real housewife of New York City opens the doors of Blue Stone Manor, her Berkshires sanctuary, welcoming fans into her beloved home. In her first-ever written life story, Dorinda clips away all pretense and noise to unveil the not-so-glamorous bumps in the road that have marked her colorful journey toward becoming the person fans, colleagues, and friends know and love today. This is a vulnerable and emotional account of love, motherhood, loss, and the not-entirely-planned adventure from her modest beginnings in the Berkshires to her personal, social, and professional ascent - told in her trademark manner.

Chronicling the life of the reality television star, Make It Nice also features life lessons for those who may experience similar challenges, as well as the celebrated hostess’s invaluable entertaining tips, all presented with the humor and wit that have “oh-so-well made” Dorinda Medley a most compelling compilation.

Like spending time at Bluestone Manor

If you like Dorinda, you will love this book. Short and sweet, heartfelt and honest. Loved learning more about her life and getting some life lessons along the way.

Highly enjoyed

If you like Dorinda then I don’t see why you wouldn’t like her book. It was entertaining a bit sad and gave a overall look into her life. I personally like books like this. If I lived in NY I would want to be one of her friends. You don’t find many loyal people like that anymore. I sometimes think I’m the only one left. Enjoy the book.

Revealing

I had a view of Dorinda from the show as a ball buster. I was wrong...Dorinda is a deep and complicated person, and I am wondering how she ever stumbled into reality tv--she's far more interesting here than on Bravo. I just wish the book were longer.

Very pleased

I was pleasantly surprised at how well this was and I’m such a big fan of her now! Not that I wasn’t before but you get so much more insight into her life before a housewife and she seems so relatable. Thank you, Dorinda!

10/10

I really didn’t expect what I got out of this book. I am so thankful I read it. Hearing Dorinda talk about her grief was so meaningful and also helps to give context to her life on housewives. I would recommend this book to anyone who has experienced death even if they aren’t housewives fans!

Loved it
