Real Life, Real Love

Life Lessons on Joy, Pain, & the Magic That Holds Us Together

By: Gia Casey, RaaShaun "DJ Envy" Casey

Narrated by: Gia Casey, RaaShaun "DJ Envy" Casey

Advice on how to have healthy, dynamic relationships from Raashaun (DJ Envy) and Gia Casey, revealing their secrets to navigating marriage, family, and faith

Gia and Raashaun Casey met when they were two teenagers living around the corner from each other in Queens. They have been together for an astounding 25 years and have remained together through Raashaun's growing celebrity, a devastating (and very public) cheating scandal, and the births of five children. Now, a quarter of a century into their relationship, they are stronger and more committed to each other than they've ever been, and their fans are clamoring to know how they did it.

In Real Life, Real Love, Gia and Raashaun explore the entire chronology of their love story with remarkable vulnerability, searing honesty, and a lot of humor. It's a riveting narrative about how to grow together, an aspirational guidebook for people who seek the same unconditional love in their relationships, and an in-depth look at how to remain equals after being thrust into the public eye.

I wanted More than what was discussed on their Pod

I love Gia and her Fam and thoroughly enjoy their Podcast. I was first drawn in from a clip I saw when envy apologized on the radio for his infidelities and the rest is history. I bought this book expecting Gia to give a better insight on her trauma during that difficult time. I wanted the raw and uncut truth, I wanted her to bear it all out in the book and express how vulnerable and hurt she was, I wanted her to recount every second that passed during that time and I felt that it wasn't delivered . The same thing said on the podcast was what we got in this book . It was a bare repetitive performance. I also got the impression that Gia did not bare her naked self due to it being so public at the time and she wanted to shield the readers of how hurt and embarrassed she was as a way not to give power to the mistress. Besides that I enjoyed it and hope that if they do decide to make another book that they are more open to the matters the readers want to read. Also envy should have someone read his part.

Must read!

This book was so on time, relevant and much needed. I enjoyed this read and their transparency in each chapter.

Excelente

This book made me: laugh, cry, reflect and reminisce. I’m happy I gave it a listen. I am a regular listener of the Breakfast Club but it was Gia’s interview on Lip Service that made me download the audio book.

Amazing read!

I love how they told their own story and how they are friends with the children something I aim for everyday! Casey crew are goals!!

AMAZING!!!! Bravo!!!!

What an amazing love, growing, growth, share story. My husband and I have been together for 41yrs, he was 28 and I was 18, we are now 69 and 59...lol - Where does the time go? I loved your book. Your story, told beautifully was/is a blessing for me and any reader/listener that is lead to receive it. The vulnerability and realness you share is so open the title, although gripping, still isn't powerful enough for what we experience when we enter your world. Your book should be nationally mandated, required reading, for any couple purchasing a marriage license. Well done, the book, and how you live. I applaud a standing ovation for this awesome project.

Great Read

I really wasn't expecting this book to be as good as it was. It was a beautiful surprisingly good read. I laughed and cried while reading it. If you are in a relationship or just trying to find yourself I would recommend you take time out to read this book. I enjoyed listening to the authors as well and I'm not a really big audible fan outside of work lol. I found myself listening at home! The authors made it even more enjoyable!

AWESOME JOB!!!!
