I did enjoy listening to Lala read this book, but I feel like I have heard a majority of her stories because I have watched and followed her journey on VPR's.. If you are a fan of Lala you will enjoy listening to hear. However, I would not recommend physically reading this book.. That is my opinion on all celebrity books. The audio is far better because you get to actually hear the author's true meaning of their words.
I will say only read this if you are a mega-fan of Vanderpump Rules and Lala. I'm a fan, but through most of the book, I found myself checked out of the stories Lala features in this book.
The writing style is casual. A lot of the stories sounded repetitive and similar. It is hard to review because this book is Lala's personal life in book form, and I don't want to dismiss the important stories she is trying to tell.
I would recommend listening to the audiobook over reading the book. It's a short quick read, and I finished it within a day.
Honestly, I don't expect much out of Bravo stars and their books. I've read so many of them, and have always been underwhelmed. However, Lala Kent really turned that around for me. I really felt this book (in the audiobook format) was so thought-provoking, transparent, and hopeful. This book gave me better insight into her life and her upbringing, as well as the person she is at her very core. I consumed this audiobook in less than a day, and I'm better for it. We were able to have Lala Kent on our morning show, Good Morning Arizona, and I had only had a chance to read excerpts at that point. I'm so glad I didn't skip this book.
I have been a big VPR fan since the beginning so I was curious to see what Lala’s book would be all about. I am not usually a celebrity book reader, but when I saw Layla narrated it too I was excited.
This book was all over the place. I feel like it jumped from VPR days back to elementary school, to current times back to middle school. It was definitely more vulgar then it needed to be in a lot of spots. I definitely think the second half of the book was much more interesting then the first half.
