Synopsis;
A witty, warm, and inspiring
memoir from the E News! host, Fashion Police panelist, red-carpet correspondent,
author, and reality show star Giuliana Rancic.
Giuliana Rancic is best known for interviewing
A-listers on the red carpet and E!
News, skewering their shocking style choices on Fashion Police, and giving
viewers a front row seat to her marriage and family life on her reality show, Giuliana & Bill. What fans
may not know is that she learned English from Eddie Murphy, got her American
citizenship so she could be a beauty queen, and used to have a bad habit of
stealing cars for fun.
Giuliana bares this and so much more in her
hilarious, warm, and inspiring memoir, Going
Off Script. From a
young age she dreamed of being a TV anchorwoman but, because of her inclination
toward mischief and away from schoolwork, her path to her dream job was far
from straight. After a fateful (and mortifying) encounter with the late
Senator Ted Kennedy, she learned that Hollywood news was where she
belonged. Thankfully for readers, this epiphany led her to a bounty of LA
misadventures (featuring notables such as Johnny Depp, Leonardo DiCaprio, and
Russell Crowe) and an entertaining behind-the-scenes perspective on what our
favorite celebrities are really like.
In spite of her glamorous Hollywood life,
however, Giuliana could not escape some rockier times, including her battles
with infertility and breast cancer. Here, for the first time, she reveals
the whole truth behind her well-publicized struggles, and the highly
controversial decisions she had to make. And, of course, at the heart of
it all are the two loves of her life who keep her strong through everything,
her husband Bill and her son, Duke.
Candid, funny, and poignant, Going Off Script is an autobiography that proves
you don’t always have to follow the rules to get the life you’ve always dreamed
of.
Thoughts;
I very much enjoyed this book. It was very well written.
From her childhood in Italy, to moving to America, growing
up, dating, college, marriage, trying to have a child, working at E! and
everything in between and after. It was well written and you can get her
personality by reading her words.
I would recommend this book to anyone who reads these types of books
