A review by aliciaclarereads
Open Book by Jessica Simpson

emotional funny hopeful informative reflective fast-paced

4.0

•Overall, I really enjoyed this memoir, but while Simpson shares so much of her life, there was a certain depth she never quite reached, I think, perhaps, because she is still unpacking a lot of the trauma she’s dealt with 

•Simpson writes A LOT about her faith and God in every aspect of her life, which is fine, but it did feel like I was listening to the Evangelical kids I grew up with (and I became in an alternate universe) 

•She is REALLY gracious towards Nick Lachey and their relationship, much more than I think he deserves (also I didn’t realize she was 18 & he was 25 when they met, and I am 🥴 at that age gap & how much of a baby she was) 

•I only weigh ~10 pounds more than Simpson did in that infamous photo that started a deluge of body shaming, and I just– I’m going to go throw up 

•JOHN MAYER YOU WILL PAY FOR YOUR CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY!!!!!!! (Dear John (Taylor’s Version) feat. Jessica Simpson WHEN)
