Publisher's summary

Without her alter-ego Erika Jayne, Erika Girardi says she'd just be "another rich bitch with a plane" - so get ready for the dishy, tell-all memoir from show-stopping performer, model, singer, and beloved star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Erika Jayne.

Erika Jayne didn't make it this far by holding back. Now, in her first-ever memoir, the fan favorite star of Bravo's The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills bares her heart, mind, and soul.

In Pretty Mess, Erika spills on every aspect of her life: from her rise to fame as a daring and fiery pop/dance performer and singer; to her decision to accept a role on reality television; to the ups and downs of family life (including her marriage to famed lawyer Tom Girardi, 33 years her senior). There's much more to Erika Jayne than fans see on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Pretty Mess is her opportunity to dig deep and tell her many-layered, unique, and inspiring life story.

As fun and fearless as its author, this fascinating memoir proves once and for all why Erika Jayne is so beloved: she's strong, confident, genuine, and here to tell all!

I absolutely loved this book! A+++++ Work!

I loved listening to this book! Not only is this a real way to understand Erika Jayne in real life but it's literally such a inspirational book. Starting from the childhood of not only success but going through rejection. Not accepting it of course and pushing through to hitting it big time in ever aspect of your life. It brought me such a heart warming feeling to know that there are no bounds to success or age that success can happen as long you just keep pushing forward! Thanks so much for the very positive and down to earth attitude and perspective! I enjoyed this read very much and look forward to the possibility of more in the furture!

A True Guide for Dream Chasers

Before the world was introduced to Erika Jayne, in 2009 I saw her live for the first time in a Fort Lauderdale Florida at a club called Living Room. Little did I know the woman performing in front of me would become a household name.To be honest, when I picked up this book I had my expectations as far as what I would learn about Ms. Erika Jayne. Truth be told, I was so thankful to take away so many life lessons and tips for my move to LA and navigating the entertainment industry. I too, have had a dream of chasing after a career in media. It started when I was in my early teens and now at 32 the passion burns even hotter. This book set more fire under me to go chase despite my own fears and concerns of failure. After listening to your book Erika I know now that I was made to get through challenges and push myself harder than I ever thought possible. One of my goals in life is to share a screen with you whether it’s on What What Happens Live or a live performance at LA Pride. I know the possibilities and that the sky is the limit! Thank you for this book.

Did not expect to relate on so many levels

First a HUGE Thank You to Erika for narrating her own book. Love her voice and made it feel like a conversation with my bestie. I really did not think there would be so many things I could relate to in her life story. Obviously there are many things that are different than my life but when you really listen it's so similar at the root of it all. The ups and downs of life and pushing through and always hanging on to your true intentions. This book came into my life at just the right time. I am going to listen again!

AWESOME

I love this book! It's great to hear the story from the author herself! I've never seen Housewives... But I definitely will be watching now that I've met Erika Jayne through her book.

Truly enjoyed getting to know more about Erika.

This was intriguing...I listened to this book in 2 days- I couldn't stop listening. I love who Erika Jayne is and what she stands for. I was excited to hear her story and how she got where she is today. I love that she is raw and puts it out there. A lot of women/men can relate with certain emotions/feelings she expresses throughout her journey in this book. Thank you, Erika, for sharing your experiences with us!

Pretty Mess

I watch Erika on HOBH. I am fascinated by her. She does seem to get judged quite often regarding her being her "authentic self." I enjoyed listening to her story, although it is probably something that wouldn't be of interest to readers who don't know who she is. She tells it like it is. Yes, at times her behavior seems "bratty." However, I think she's a great person who has worked very hard to prove herself as being a great entertainer and an extremely honest and kind person. I think more highly of her than I did before this book! Great job Erika!!
