Jessica reveals for the first time her inner monologue and most intimate struggles. Guided by the journals she's kept since age fifteen, and brimming with her unique humor and down-to-earth humanity,Β Open BookΒ is as inspiring as it is entertaining.
This was supposed to be a very different book. Five 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 didnβt want to lie.
Jessica couldnβt be authentic with her readers if she wasnβt fully honest with herself first.
Now Americaβs Sweetheart, preacherβs daughter, pop phenomenon, reality tv pioneer, and the billion-dollar fashion mogul 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.Β Open BookΒ is Jessica Simpson using her voice, heart, soul, and humor to share things sheβs never shared before.
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 beingΒ talkedΒ about, Jessica is doing the talking. Her book shares the wisdom and inspirations sheβs learned and shows the real woman behind all the pop-culture clichΓ©βs β βchicken or fish,β βDaisy Duke,β "football jinx," βmom jeans,β βsexual napalmβ¦β and more.Β Open BookΒ 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.
