Preacher's daughter. Pop phenomenon. Reality TV pioneer. Billion-dollar fashion mogul. Girlfriend. Wife. Mother. Jessica Simpson has been all these things. And whether she's America's Sweetheart-a headline or a punchline-people always relate to her honesty. Now, guided by tyhe journals she's kept since she was fifteen, Open Book is Jessica Simpson at her most honest, revealing her inner monologue and intimate struggles. Full of 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. Several 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 readers if she wasn't honest with herself first. In Open Book, Jessica tells her truth, revealing a histpry of trauma, struggles with anxiety, addiction, and self-confidence. She invites readers 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.
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. Full of hearr, soul, and humor, Open Book shows the real woman behind all the pop-culture clichés and the wisdom and encouragement she's found along the way. 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.
