Quarantine Book Club! Jessica Simpson's New Memoir 'Open Book'
Posted on
Jessica Simpson's new memoir came out at the perfect time during quarantine when you need a 30 minute daily escape. She spills secrets of her life as a popstar, mom and owner of a billion-dollar fashion empire. Her issues and insecurities are surprisingly relatable at some level. Our founder, Dale Janée, cuddled her 4-month old-baby girl, Henrietta, earlier this month while soaking in the memoir. Outfits are loungewear these days and the daily hairstyle is typically a simple mom-bun in our anti-breakage Pinot Greige Savvy Scrunchie.
Bookreading style at home! Our Savvy Scrunchies are 100% pure satin (the same satin as our anti-aging satin pillowcases) and help prevent hair breakage. They are especially gentle on those few weeks of postpartum hair loss which our founder is going through now - not too mention major roots.

So how is the book? It's not too deep, not too shallow. It's a sugary-sweet balance as Jessica recaps ditzy moments and intense love affairs with her first husband, Nick Lachey, and shares more detail than we expected on her longtime dark romance with John Mayer. More surprising and revealing, was her openness to share about insecurities and abuse she experienced as a child which led her down a dangerous path with alcohol.
One chapter that was definitely entertaining and relatable was her chapter called 'Death by Mom Jeans' where Jessica talked about a performance at a Chili cookout in Florida where she wore a tight black tank top, high-waisted jeans and a leopard print belt and the pain she felt after her body and weight was intensely scrutinized. Surprisingly, she also wrote in detail about her reliance on weight loss pills and intense dieting and exercise.

*If you want to buy Jessica Simpson's new book, we recommend skipping Amazon to order books. We've seen more book scams lately and had it happen to us. Barnes and Noble and many local book stores are offering curbside pick up. Although it's slightly annoying and less convenient than Amazon, it's worth trying to keep them in business to have a bookstore in the neighborhood.
