Open Book

A Memoir

De: Jessica Simpson

Narrado por: Jessica Simpson

The number-one New York Times best seller

Includes six new songs by Jessica Simpson, available exclusively in the Open Book audiobook. Performed by the author featuring her music throughout.

Jessica reveals for the first time her inner monologue and most intimate struggles. Guided by the journals she's kept since age 15, and brimming with her unique humor and down-to-earth humanity, Open Book is as inspiring as it is entertaining.

This was supposed to be a very different book. Five years ago, Jessica Simpson was approached to write a motivational guide to living your best life. She walked away from the offer, and nobody understood why. The truth is that she didn’t want to lie.

Jessica couldn’t be authentic with her listeners if she wasn’t fully honest with herself first.

Now, America’s Sweetheart, preacher’s daughter, pop phenomenon, reality TV pioneer, and the billion-dollar fashion mogul invites listeners on a remarkable journey, examining a life that blessed her with the compassion to help others but also burdened her with an almost crippling need to please. Open Book is Jessica Simpson using her voice, heart, soul, and humor to share things she’s never shared before.

First celebrated for her voice, she became one of the most talked-about women in the world, whether for music and fashion, her relationship struggles, or as a walking blonde joke. But now, instead of being talked about, Jessica is doing the talking. Her audiobook shares the wisdom and inspirations she’s learned and shows the real woman behind all the pop-culture clichés - "chicken or fish", "Daisy Duke", "football jinx", "mom jeans", "sexual napalm..." and more. Open Book is an opportunity to laugh and cry with a close friend, one that will inspire you to live your best, most authentic life, now that she is finally living hers.

Includes the songs "Heartbeat", "Practice What You Preach", "Sweet Temptation", "Your Fool" (featuring Willie Nelson), "Party of One", and "Free Will" by Jessica Simpson.

Amazing!

I don't read autobiographies.... why, well they are usually bland and boring. This one however grabbed me by the heart strings. I hadn't realized how many ways I connected with JS. I found myself lauging with her and crying with her. Elequently written with JS signature humor this book showed that you can be a southern preachers daughter and Americas sweetheart and still be sexual, frustrated and angry at others, and in need of your own forgiveness and redemption.

I know I will find myself listening to this one again....oh and please DONT SKIP the songs at the end...those are the perfect icing on the cake!

Jessica Simpson is my spirit animal

It was a beautiful story. I felt so meant emotions while I listened to it. I love her even now than before. She is amazing.

Love It!

Loved how open Jessica was and is an inspiration. We think that celebrities have it all, but we have same struggles but just dont have the world watching. Also loved her new songs!

Truly transparent

I really enjoyed listening to this book and her life story. Raw and honest.

Excellent in captivating her audience brilliant!

Portrayed as a dumb blonde by the media.. She is actually brilliant creating a multi billion dollar empire with only a GED...Book is captivating written perfectly!

Really enjoyed it

I will read more of her stories - well done!! It was an Open book for sure!

A Must Read/Listen

I enjoyed listening to this book so much. It was told in such a personable way and Jessica did a great job telling her story. Her voice was so soothing and when she teared up during some parts, I could feel her pain. If you are a fan you should definitely listen.

Amazing

First of all , I have not taken the time to read a book of choice for years nor have I listened to an audio book of choice. I am a school teacher, so many books are picked out for our curriculum. As we are all homebound due to the covid-19 pandemic, I took the time to see what audible was all about and the first book that I knew I wanted to listen to was Jessica Simpson’s , “Open Book”. Let me just tell you that I have always been a fan , being just a teenager when her first song was released. However, as I listened to her narrate the book, I feel like I actually know her. I laughed, cried and did not want this book to end. She is such an inspiration. I love love love this book and will be buying an actual copy of it for my library at home . Jessica Simpson is a beautiful person inside and out.

Open book, indeed!

I wasn’t quite sure what to expect with this. I figured it would be funny having watched “Newlyweds” and it was. But it was also emotional, sad and inspiring. I found myself choked up several times. I appreciate the rawness of some parts and listening to Jessica Simpson speak her truth was beautiful. Highly recommend!

Famous but just a normal person

I like Jessica being the narrator...sometimes her voice got to be too much though.

Good read for young ladies.
