Book Synopsis



The #1 New York Times Bestseller

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, Open Book 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 didn't want to lie.

Jessica couldn't be authentic with her readers if she wasn't fully honest with herself first.

Now, America's Sweetheart, preacher's 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. Open Book is Jessica Simpson using her voice, heart, soul, and humor to share things she's 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 being talked about, Jessica is doing the talking. Her book shares the wisdom and inspirations she's learned and shows the real woman behind all the pop-culture cliché's -- "chicken or fish," "Daisy Duke," football jinx, "mom jeans," "sexual napalm..." and more. Open Book 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.

very great book! It is very interesting and it will give you more than enough to make you keep reading it until you finish the book in 1 sitting. Highly recommend as she shares about her obstacles with alcohol, divorce, music industry and more. I plan on buying another book to give to my sister to read herself as well!

The book may be very good, but it was a gift for my daughter-in-law and I was supposed to receive a signed copy but did not. Target did refund my purchase and allow me to also keep the book, but such a great disappointment.

I loved reading this book! I never knew Jessica Simpson had a hard life. I’m so glad she is happy and enjoying her life now. Jessica Simpson did a great job writing this book about her life and finally making it in the music business! She definitely has one of the best singing voices out there! Whether your a fan or not you’ll love this book! The best part is Target had the signed edition of this book!

This is a terrific memoir of a very strong, talented women. She tells her story as if you are talking to a good friend. Through faith and humor she recounts all the obsticles she had to overcome to find her present happiness with her beautiful family. Open Book is a substantial book that I know you will love.
