Make It Nice

By: Dorinda Medley

Narrated by: Dorinda Medley

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.

Honesty

What an easy nice book to listen too. It’s funny, happy, sad & informative. Dorinda has a fascinating life.

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!

wonderful

I always loved dorinda on rhny but now have a greater respect and in awe of how she lived and lives her life

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

Realest of Real Housewives

I have always loved Dorinda ever since she joined the cast of Real Housewives of New York. I saw her a a hardworking individual who wasn’t afraid to be herself. I am writing this while on a walk with tears dripping down my face.

Bravo, Dorinda. You showed you are one tough cookie that I wish everyone would get to know.

You have also inspired me. I have always wanted to do content creation but my ex-husband wasn’t keen on it. Long story short (for now) I’m having a blast making content on the internet and love seeing your posts. Thank you for always making it nice and making me not feel so alone in the world.

Dorinda Made It Nice!!

If you're a fan of Dorinda at all, or even just interested in her backstory, you'll really enjoy this book. I love hearing her tell the stories herself and it was inspiring as well as informative. I actually thought at one point, this would be a great book for women who don't even know who she is. Great job, Dorinda!
