What a great book. It kept me interested in each phase of her life. Thanks for putting yourself outhere Valerie. The Entertainment life is not familiar to me. You did a great job describing the pros and cons of a Rocker's life. Best wishes to you and your family in the years ahead. Irene Caplette

Valorie's books is more about how she "found it" than losing it. She tells her story in such a way that the reader "gets to know her" in some debth.
The pounds she lost restult in a gain for the reader.

Don't expect any weight-loss wisdom or even an extensive account of her own weight-loss journey (except for an obsessive tally of every time she gains or loses a few pounds). Do expect a LOT of cocaine snorting and 20 years of angst over her ill-considered marriage, not to mention a few really boneheaded parenting decisions. If that's your bag, go for it; if not, save your money,

I was curious about this book. I always thought of Valerie Bertinelli as the sweetheart married to Eddie Van Halen. I always liked her.
She's very candid in this book about things she's done, mistakes she's made, but interestingly, she doesn't blame anyone but herself. While many celebs are mentioned in this book, she's very kind to them all and I appreciated that. Lots of time is spent discussing her relationship with Eddie Van Halen. Honestly, never had an opinion on him, but amazingly, you walk away from the book respecting and liking the guy. (even with all of the issues that were discussed). I admire the fact that she was able to put all of her bitterness aside and accept things for what they were without blaming others.
I don't know that it was "inspirational", but it makes you think. Women have a tendency to have insecurities about themselves, whether they are warranted or not. No matter what size she was, she was always obsessing about it. Finding out what makes you happy as a person is what matters when being able to put those thoughts aside. She was able to do that.
Do I think it was a commercial for Jenny Craig? No way. That was only a small part of it. No diet in the world is going to help you unless you want to help yourself. She gets it.
The only downside is that I wish her political views were kept out of it, but that is part of who she is and the book is about her. Overall, it was a nice enjoyable listen, and I think the audiobook made it even more genuine hearing it with her voice telling the story. She's a great reader, though she does sometimes read a bit fast.
