I tried to push through this book but got halfway and decided to stop. I really wanted to like this book. Jackie is/was my favourite character on TRHOM but this book is very poorly written. The overly large size font unfortunately explains a lot; any smaller and there wouldn’t have been enough to call it a book. Jackie is great on reality TV but unfortunately this book is testament to the fact that not everybody is destined to write a book. Extremely basic writing, endless repetition and very little substance.

I really enjoyed watching Jackie on the Real Housewives of Melbourne and the message she is trying to get across. However, I did feel like this book was poorly written, there was no flow and felt like it kept going over a few key details constantly.

I really started getting into this book once she started talking about her relationship with Ben. I appreciate the beginning of her story and how she got to where she is but speaking about Ben just made it feel like she was really talking to you and less like a self help book.

I love this book. Not sure why others have an issue with the way it's written, Jackie writes like she talks - she's not pretending to be a "writer" she just wants to share her story and I'm so glad she did, it's truly inspirational.
