Open Book by Jessica Simpson
Nonfiction
What’s inside: Open Book is a memoir of Jessica Simpson, a pop star who hit her stride in the late ‘90s, early ‘00s. You may remember her from her MTV reality show Newlyweds with her then-husband Nick Lachey. She was portrayed through the media as a ditzy-dumb blond who is always the butt of the joke. But her memoir reveals just how much hurt and pain she was in during most of her adult life. She was thrust into the limelight at such a young age, she never really had a chance to discover who she was without the influence of media, her family, or her significant others.
Is it for you? This memoir truly is a story of discovering yourself and who you are. Jessica figured out who she was meant to be, and how she was supposed to spread light in this world. If you’ve had a similar journey, this book is for you. If you’re a woman who has felt judged or scrutinized by how you look, this book is for you. And even if you love pop culture and are looking for Jessica to spill the tea on her past relationships, this book is DEFINITELY for you.
Want a taste? “You’ve been listening to me talk, so I want to hear from you. Press pause for a second on your life and ask yourself, What is my calling? What makes you feel passionate? … I think sometimes we get so caught up in the vessel of the work rather than what matters: the spirit that fills it” (Open Book, 259).
