Really enjoyed Big, Beautiful and Sexy and this book contains four chapters that aren't in the original book. Congratulations on your courage and bravery for writing such a personal book. Really enjoyed the four new chapters.

This is an intensely raw and heartbreaking memoir. Casey is incredibly honest about the trials and tribulations of her life- her relationship with her father, six years of being catfished, the ups and downs of being in the entertainment business and her insecurities. So honest in fact, it sometimes felt uncomfortably voyeuristic. It is not high level literature (in fact the spelling/grammar mistakes were quite grating at times!), but it does read like a conversation with a friend who is baring her soul. This is a very brave book. I am however left feeling like it was a little premature. I have no doubt Casey will have a long and satisfying career and I think perhaps the book could have waited until she had lived more of her life and put a little distance between her and the Olga/Campbell saga.

Awesome! Such an inspiration! It actually inspired me to buy ‘sexy’ new nightie/gown to impress my hubby-it worked! I had been wanting this nightie/gown for a while but was on sale! SO worth it!

This is a book of warts and all by a young lady - seems a very lovely girl. Strong Woman.
