review 1: I feel compelled to give this book my honest opinion, and yes I did read all of it!I don't think it;s fair for people to write negative things when they haven't read the book, only other people's reviews of the 'disappointing' points of view. So here are my thoughts:1. I feel so bad that Gorga's editor obviously was not allowed to their job. I found the content of the book constantly repeating with the same phrases, and that as I further progressed, I wasn't learning or reading anything new. 2. Gorga doesn't site her sources. It really bothered me. If you're going to state a fact, then have the evidence to back it up. She referenced studies and articles she'd read but I wanted to see the proof, where's the validation?3. I found Joe's passages more offensive than Melissa's.... more I do feel Melissa was writing from the heart but I don't think what she wanted to accomplish with this book came across well. 4. There were a few inconsistencies, and I felt that I couldn't really believe Gorga towards the end of the book.However, through it all, the Gorga's have a lovely, loving, and well mannered family. Their marriage seems to work great for them and that is a wonderful thing. I don't think a lot of what works for them will work for other people. It's a quick easy read, but I didn't gain anything from it. I know she meant well, but the clunkiness got in the way.
review 2: So far this book is annoying me. I decided to give it a chance 'cause I see her marriage on RHONJ and I want to one day have a happy loving marriage. Since I am currently separated from an Italian I decided to read it. So far it has been her gushing about her life. Then goes into her hair/makeup routine. As I glanced thru I saw a lot of stuff normal people can't have/do as their income doesn't allow it. It seems doing everything just to please your husband is what she thinks is right. I'd rather be alone & myself than someone I'm not.Don't think I'll be finishing it. less
