This review first appeared on my blog, Olive the Books.
I’ll never forget a moment that happened at the office of my old job. Our team was chit-chatting one morning as we normally did, and when we randomly got on the topic of TV shows, I revealed that I love watching reality TV.
The quietest dude on our team – a real starched shirt, Bud Light Lime, never-needed-to-develop-a-personality-because-my-parents-have-money kind of guy – whipped his head around to stare at me. “You watch reality TV?” I calmly explained: yes, resident Average Joe, the egghead and well-known bibliophile on your team also gets down with some “real” TV drama.
Maybe I should be ashamed of that, but I’m not. I find reality shows to be both mindless, relaxing binge-fodder, but also mini psychological studies. To even agree to be on a reality show establishes a ground level of narcissism, and when you as a viewer spend enough seasons with a group of people (not even mentioning rewatches), you start to get to know them well. Real well.
One of the shows (and the casts) I know best is Vanderpump Rules. Originally a spin off of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (let that fact sink in), the cast was sourced from “housewife” Lisa Vanderpump’s West Hollywood restaurant, SUR. She pitched the show to Bravo since her employees were a natural well of drama: six of them – three girls, three guys – were all best friends and had all paired up with one another. They also took turns hating and betraying one another and used the restaurant as the arena for their (literal and figurative) boxing matches. Lisa figured it would be reality show gold and, per usual, she was right.
The ever-expanding cast has long since abandoned pretending they actually work at the restaurant (with the exception of the newbies) since they’re now famous for being on the show, a detail that Bravo seems hellbent on not disclosing. Andy Cohen must believe that viewers will implode if that fourth wall breaks.
But since they are so famous, a few of them have snagged book deals. Stassi Schroeder released one last spring and is reportedly working on a second one, bartender pair Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix put out a cocktail book just in time for Christmas last year, and now, Kristen Doute, the ex-girlfriend feared around all around the Bravo-sphere, has just dropped a book all about, wait for it, relationships. It’s called “He’s Making You Crazy,” proving that Kristen will take her responsibility-shirking as far as the title of her debut book.
Vanderpump Rules has featured some seriously toxic relationships (season one Stassi and Jax, anyone?), but no one has been in as many on the show as Kristen Doute. She started off the show in a long-term relationship with the above-mentioned Tom Sandoval, then she moved onto the pipsqueak DJ James Kennedy. She only recently ended things with the alleged sponger Brian Carter. Pretty much all of her relationships featured on the show started messy, stayed messy, and ended messy. It is the kind of thing that makes you wonder, good lord, if she’s like this in her 30s, what were her relationships like when she was younger?!
Well, in this book, Doute will tell you. She teamed up with the “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days” author Michele Alexander to adapt her past exploits into a rom-com-style, do-as-I-say-not-what-I-do kind of tell-all. Kristen goes as far back as her childhood crushes, then takes us through the conveyor belt of attractive, yet slow on the up-take guys she’s gone for over the years. The guys made some serious mistakes in these relationships, as did Kristen, and, props to her, she almost takes responsibility for them in this book.
I know you can probably almost taste the shade I’m throwing, so let me state outright: I don’t hate Kristen. Certainly, she’s one of the best things that ever happened to the show because she cannot control herself. But on the other hand, she’s incredibly frustrating. Because she cannot control herself.
There are patterns in her behavior and in her relationships. I’ll give it to her – she’s certainly more self-aware than she’s ever been before, but on the first part of the season eight reunion that aired last week, it was revealed that Kristen hooked up with Max, the ex of not one, but two of her friends, one of whom was still interested in getting back together with him. It’s a situation uncomfortably reminiscent of her hookups with Jax Taylor when Stassi, her best friend, was entertaining a reunion with him. It’s hard to buy into her “I’ve changed so much” brand when her behavior as of last fall was merely a slightly toned-down version of what she was doing seven years ago.
Also, for as much as Kristen says she spills in this book, there’s something I really noticed the absence of: the story of how she and Tom Sandoval really got together. Kristen is happy to give stories of how she found out men were cheating on her (and then gives you, the reader, step-by-step instructions on how to double down on a cheating man’s error by egregiously invading his privacy), but she doesn’t admit that she and Sandoval started their relationship off by cheating.
This isn’t a conspiracy theory: when the show starts, she says the two had been dating for four years, sleeping together for five, and later, when Tom gets with Ariana, Kristen says something to Tom along the lines of “we know how things go when they don’t start honestly.” (I feel like they’ve alluded to this elsewhere as well, but the examples aren’t coming to mind.) Yet, there’s not mention of this in the book. Nor does she talk about the numerous physical and emotional affairs she’s admitted to having with other guys while she was with Tom.
Basically, the point I’m getting at is two-fold: Kristen is repeating past behavior as early as this past fall, so the “this is what I used to be like” tone is blatantly false, and she leaves out stories that viewers know exist, probably because they are highly unflattering. It makes me wonder what she’s left out of the stories she does include.
But let’s get to the real question here: is this book worth reading?
As a self-help book? No. It’s not written like one (someone put some white out over the words “how to” on the cover – they don’t belong there) and shouldn’t be taken as one.
If you’re not a fan of the show? No. She leaves out names (for legal reasons, I’m sure), so only viewers of the show will fully know who and what she’s talking about. She’s a little too vague for non-viewers to understand; she’s assuming you’re a viewer. (That makes the “how-to” marketing on the cover that’s clearly looking to extend this book’s audience beyond viewers of the show pretty dang gross, but that complaint I’ll direct at the publisher).
If you love the show and want to read about Doute being Doute before she became famous? Oh yeah. You’ll get some gloriously messy stories, even if they are, as I suspect, incomplete.

December 1, 2020I feel gross after finishing this. Reading the book felt like I was forced to be her friend and I didn’t like her. She made me uncomfortable with how dishonest she was willing to be. I didn’t like the way she talked about her exes, especially since we know who she’s referring to. There was no genuine advice or growth or reflection. I didn’t like the way she talked about other women. It made me feel like a worst person just for reading this book. Not to mention all the clichés. Check out Stassi, Ramona or Carole’s books. Those are much better.

kristen… my unhinged mariposa 🦋 2.75⭐️
this was def more enjoyable than stasis’s book but was still just average
aside from her childhood/teenage crushes, this didn’t give much more info about her or her life than what we already get on the show
lowkey felt like she was leaving out certain details and trying to manipulate me the entire time HAHAH

He's Making You Crazy Vanderpump Rules star Kristen Doute is one part memoir, one part Stalking 101. It's as if Kristen & her alter ego "Crazy Kristen" were dueling with each other for page space. It reminded me a little bit like a non-fiction version of The Dark Half.
If you aren't familiar with Vanderpump Rules, it was a reality show about struggling waitstaff/models/ actors working at SUR, a restaurant in West Hollywood owned by Lisa Vanderpump, from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. It is now a reality show about those same people, who pretend to work at SUR sometimes, while owning million dollar homes.
As a fan of Vanderpump Rules & an unapologetic Kristen Doute fan, I was thoroughly entertained reading her book. It is funny & witty, with dashes of humility, self-awareness & not at all basic. You don't necessarily have to be a fan of the show or know much about it to enjoy her book. It is written with a much wider audience in mind then just fans of the show. Fellow cast members names aren't dropped during parts about things that happened or are currently happening while filming. However, fans will know exactly who she is talking about.
While reading about the early parts of Doute's romantic relationships, I felt like I was reading stories of my own life. I'm about the same age as Doute & grew up in the same area, so I immediately connected with stories of high school parties with Dave Matthews playing, concerts at Pine Knob & trips to Cedar Point. I enjoyed getting to know a side of Kristen Doute that has rarely been much time on the show.
However, a bit of advice... If you want to avoid a restraining order, I suggest not following some of the "tips" given & maybe take them as anecdotal evidence of what not to do.
*I received an ARC of this novel from the publisher through NetGalley.*

If anything this book just emphasises what a crazy and controlling person she really is??
Was this meant to make her appear better? 😂😭
She also didn't mention all the times she cheated on Sandoval??? Not an honest memoir at all.

this book is perfect. no notes.

Taking advice or gathering any true wisdom or insight from a book requires that the author has has some genuine and authentic growth themselves. Kristen Doute's book is indulgent and keeps in brand with her lack of personal accountability and growth. For 8 years we've seen this woman indulge herself in toxic attachment styles with every man she's ever been apart of, and her inability to regulate her emotions in a healthy manner is thinly veiled by the ghost writing happening here. She speaks like a person whose "been there" but the only real place she's been is in victim style situations where she screams "whoa is me" while she continues to set herself on fire. I'm all for free speech but some things should be left unsaid -- such as this book.

I have never been so excited to receive an ARC, and God Bless Kristen Doute. I freaking devoured this in a few hours on a Friday night, and it was better than anything else I could have done. I will be forever grateful for this honor.
Disclaimer - I am 100% the target audience for book. I have watched Vanderpump Rules (the Bravo reality show Kristen is still currently on) since it began airing. As result, I am intimately familiar with a lot of the stories she tells (despite her use of code names). Well, as intimate as someone watching a highly produced realty tv show can be. But the context and background could mean this book hits me different than someone who has no knowledge of Our Lady Mariposa.
Part memoir, part self help, part humor (you can tell the author takes sketch comedy *very* seriously), He’s Making You Crazy explores how toxic relationships can make you question your morals and sense of self. Through a series of stories about her past relationships, Doute takes the reader through the life lessons she learned the hard way with a perfect mix of heartfelt emotion and self-deprecating snark.
My favorite part are all the detective tips. On the show Vanderpump Rules, Doute is known for her superior investigative skills (used mostly to figure out how/when/if her boyfriends are cheating on her), and we get an amazing amount of unethical life hacks on how to investigate your own suspicious boyfriend. (Obviously tongue in cheek, but seriously, she should consider a career as a PI. I’d totally watch this as a show. Andy Cohen, do you hear me?! Let her track down cheating boyfriends. Please please please.)
This book is exactly what I hoped it will be, and when it is published, it will hold a place of honor next to my copy of Next Level Basic. (Now I’m just waiting for Good as Gold: A Scheana Shay story. Scheana - I am totes available as ghost writer if you need one!)

She’s actually insane but entertaining
June 6, 2020
Absolute garbage ordered before I new she was a racist and call military police falsely on Veterans don't waste you money
December 23, 2023
surprisingly better than stassi’s.. was shocked the carter chapters were the most intriguing
October 2, 2020
This was very entertaining! I started watching Vanderpump Rules about a year ago, and when I saw this book I knew I had to read it. It is everything that you would expect from Kristen, and she is very on brand with this book. After reading it, I have more empathy for her. I recommend this to anyone who watches Vanderpump Rules or likes celebrity tell all books.
Things I liked: Lots of drama! This book never mentions any of the guys' names explicitly, but if you have seen Vanderpump Rules, you should be able to figure out who she is talking about. (Cough cough, Sandoval, Jax, Carter). This book shows you a different side of Kristen and gives you new perspectives on events/situations you are already familiar with if you have seen VPR.
Things I didn't like: I don't agree with everything she says, and that's okay. She speaks her mind and that is something I can respect, even though I don't always agree with her opinions.

If you watch Vanderpump Rules, you know ‘Crazy’ Kristen Doute, or at least, you think you do. In this book, Kristen dives deep into her past relationships and how they got her to where she is today.
I’ve had this book on my kindle for ages, and I am all caught up on ‘The Valley’, so it seemed like a good time to dive into this. Look, it’s nothing groundbreaking, but it’s a fun read if you're a VPR fan. It’s also pretty short, and you could finish it in an afternoon. It’s also cool to see where Kristen is now compared to this book.

If The Valley is the city of delusion, Kristen is their mayor.
I love unhinged advice from someone with a lot to say 😄 It’s hysterical to me that Kristen doesn’t use names of the people in her stories, as if we didn’t watch Jax confessing that they slept together on television… it’s not just “some friend”.
It’s definitely not the best Bravoleb Memoir out there but did I love every minute? Duh, why wouldn’t I. Highly encourage absolutely no one to take her advice though!
Long live KDoute

I think this book can best be summed up by this quote from the book "This 100 percent made sense to me at the time-a foolproof scheme, a brilliant strategy." Also "WHEN A MAN DRIVES you crazy, sometimes you have to chase him." She is not someone I would take advice from but it's one celebrity memoir closer to 100 (86/100).

If you’re reading this book, you need to be honest that you are not here for good writing. I’m not sure why you would be. I read this book for the drama and a peek behind the reality TV curtain. Were those things delivered? Kind of, but not enough to make reading this book worth it.
December 18, 2024
Thought I would skim this but getting insight into Kristen Doute’s mind is a once in a lifetime opportunity. I almost wish she didn’t have the co-writer so we could’ve appreciated the wild stories without the quippy guides
June 2, 2020
This book was full of genuine laughs and surprising insights. Took me no time at all to breeze through the book and I’m glad I did- Crazy Kristen forever!
April 22, 2023
I blame the Scandoval. 🫣
December 22, 2024
Kristen Doute, the woman you are
June 16, 2025
i will always defend Detective Doute. Her delivery may be wrong/off but she always had good intentions. So happy that her dream life is coming true!!!!
March 17, 2023
Don't laugh - this was a great book. In light of Scandoval, I decided to give this a go and I was glad for it. I found it relatable and witty. Kristen emerged from a very low point in her life with healthy habits that she is now sharing with the world. Nothing groundbreaking of course, but I did learn from her about Dr Wayne Dyer and I shall seek this meditation series out.
April 11, 2023
When I read books like this I’m expecting drama , messiness and honesty. It delivered, if you go in with this expectation you’ll love this book
May 6, 2025
The only reason I read this was because it was great at putting me to sleep on the nights I was restless. She wrote this book the way she talks which is kinda hilarious as a reader.
Read
June 8, 2020All hail Queen Doute. If you’ve ever been gaslit, cheated on, lead on by a dude Doute’s book is the one for you. She’s hilariously honest while sharing her dating adventures while still being able to poke fun at herself. This is the kind of book where you feel the need to tell someone you just read because it’s either amazing, embarrassing or a combination of the two. I do wish Doute had gone deeper, but I was engaged enough to keep wanting more.
January 4, 2025
obviously this book is insane and so is Kristen. I will love her forever
January 22, 2025
finally someone who understands me

Detective Doute… I couldn’t help but admire the lengths this woman would go to just to catch a man in a lie.
If you have watched the reality show Vanderpump Rules, you would know that Kristin was often portrayed as the catalyst of much of the drama. “Crazy Kristin” defined her character and invalidated much of the real emotions & turmoil she faced regarding her relationships.
As a Kristin sympathizer, I feel as if she was not given the benefit of the doubt even when caught in some toxic and abusive cycles with the men in her life. It was interesting to hear her POV so many years later.
Kristin was not afraid to redefine her “crazy”, admit her wrongdoings, and offer some comedic relief while doing so.
If you are a fan of the show and down for a laugh, this book is for you.
