I really enjoyed this narrative. I was interested to get a glimpse into her life with a rock star. She really inspires!

This book was absolutely AMAZING!!! Valerie Bertinelli is hilarious, open, and candid. She tells her story in such a remarkable way and shares so many things that I was absolutely astounded! I was able to relate to a lot of the things she wrote about (no not sleeping with a rock star lol, although in my eyes my hubby is a rockstar).
I really enjoyed this book. I never realized that Valerie Bertinelli was such a bad girl and that her marriage to Eddie Van Halen wasn't a happy one.
I actually enjoyed this book more than I expected to... she's led an interesting life and has a nice outlook on things.
I really really enjoyed this book. I respect her courage and determination to sacrifice her happiness for her son and even though the two of them did a horrible job at working on their marriage, they did one thing right by raising their son well. Her ability to take hold of her weight issues over all those years is an inspiration for all women who have struggled with their weight like I have. My husband who is a HUGE Eddie fan will not read this book because he does not want to hear about how horrible their marriage actually was. I at times had a difficult time reading through it but I respect her intentions behind exposing her life to the public. She is an inspiration for many to learn from her mistakes.
I am so glad I like Van Halen because most of this book was about her marriage to Van Halen and his music, break up with David Lee Roth, break up with Sammy Haggar, etc. Overall enjoyed it.
I listened to this via audiobook and I really enjoyed it. Valerie might not necessarily have had the most scandalous of lives, compared to other celebrities, but she has had her share of ups and downs and writes about it well. I didn't really care for the "Jenny saved me!" bit at the end, but other than that it was pretty good.
I've been watching the new sitcom "Hot in Cleveland" that Bertinelli is in, and thoroughly enjoying it, so when I needed a new audiobook for the car, and saw this on the shelf, I grabbed it.
It was quite interesting, and she is very open about her life and where she feels she has come to by the age she is at when she wrote it. Having her as the reader made it much more authentic as well.
She talks about getting into acting and how the opportunities that came her way shaped her as did the strong parenting she had growing up. She is very candid about her relationship to Eddie Van Halen and the mistakes both of them made in their marriage. She is hopeful for the future and looking forward to a life lived more self-aware than she had been previously.
