I'm a sucker for the Housewives franchise. This book was the best! I listened to it on Audible and read it as well. I loved Audible because the reader can talk just like the wives. It made it fun. I love hearing the history of each franchise. I'm a OC of all the way. So chapter one was my favorite. I have wat he'd since it started. I was in junior high I think. True fan over here.
💯 recommend if you love the shows and the wives.

This is so juicy. I had a fun time reading it. I definitely skipped around after awhile and just read the chapters on the housewives that I knew and liked but other than that it was great.

I am tired of all the fighting and watching women tear other women down.
