Story
From a young age, Andy Cohen knew two things: He was gay, and he loved television. Now presiding over Bravo's reality-TV empire, he started out as an overly talkative pop-culture obsessive, devoted to Charlie's Angels and All My Children - and to his mother, who received daily letters from him while he was at summer camp, usually reminding her to tape the soaps. In retrospect, it's hard to believe that everyone didn't know that Andy was gay; still, he remained in the closet until college. Finally out, he embarked on making a career out of his passion for television.

She Reminds Me of a Bigger Milania
I like Teresa and I can't stand Teresa. I liked her last book and I enjoyed this book. The thing that I noticed most about this book is that in the beginning she seemed so contrite and humble. Definitely upset about the situation that she found herself in and squarely putting the blame on Joe. She is working hard and doing her best to recify things and working hard to make sure that her daughters have everything that they need. Then there was the rest of the book.
The death of her mother was so devastating that I felt so bad for her and her father and her brother. She went into great depth about what happened and how it happened, what she and Joey did, where they were, what they felt. It was so sad and heartbreaking.
But then we have the other Teresa who is talking about her 'glam squad' and the designer dresses and her expensive shoes and bags. And she is still talking about how hard it is to make ends meet. That was a bit off putting since there are so many women in the same situation but they do not live in a 10,000 sq ft house on 4 acres or have these designer clothes. Why is she complaining when she is choosing to live in such a manner. She is complaining about needing a better security system even though her house is 'a fortress'. She mentions over and over that she is famous and on tv. We know! We know!
Yes, she did go through a horrible time in prison. She did her time, she made amends and she is mad at Joe and she deserves to be and she should be. But there are so many people out there who are living in such dire circumstances and it made me feel like she is complaining about things that she should be grateful to have. This is the Teresa that I cannot stand.
All in all. I like Teresa. I continue to watch RHONJ and I continue to yell at my tv when one of them acts crazy. My hat is off to her for her four amazing children. She did that well and she did it right. She really is a strong woman and I cannot help but hope that she kicks Joe to the curb. She deserves better.

Quick summary
This book is redundant to the point it makes you want to scream. I can sum it up in a few quick sentences.
1. I'm mad at Joe. He did me wrong. This you will hear at least 500 times.
2. I'm a single mother, and I'm spool good at it. Nobody does it better.
3. I love my parents to distraction. Yeah, that we got the first 500 times.
4. I love my girls, they can do no wrong. Hmm please take a look backwards at that sassy, bad mouthed girl, Melanie and get back to us.
5. Yoga, yoga, yoga,yoga, yoga, yoga.
6 I can hold a grudge longer and better than anyone (que Jacqueline)
7. Food, food, food, food, food. Woman can remember exactly what she ate on any given date.
8. It's all Joe's fault I'm in this situation. Not one thing is my fault. I took no ownership to even glance at what I signed.
9. Damn! I'm so great it's unbelievable.
There you have it. That's the book

I like Teresa but listening to her read is torture. I was hoping that she would have improved after the first book but sadly no. Additionally, I feel like this book was all over the place and a bit discombobulated.
