A review by goatsrsexy
Open Book by Jessica Simpson

Did not finish book.

It wasn't bad, it just wasn't for me. The subject was interesting and I wish I could've kept reading but a few things just made it absolutely too grating for me to continue with, the first one being the overly conversational style of writing. I prefer memoirs that are more narrative and less feeling like someone is just sitting in front of me telling me their life story. I think that's a personal preference, based on the reviews the book is well loved. The other thing that just got to be too much for me was the religiosity. I'm not saying the book was preachy or proselytizing or anything really, it was just SO Christian, it felt too big. Of course it's the story of someone's life so it is what it is but her feelings about Christianity were just such a big part of every chapter I read that it was unengaging and unrelatable for someone who didn't grow up that way or have any connection to it. I think it's a nice book and a lot of people will like it, just not me and probably not most of my followers on here
