This book was a suggested read.

Taking my mother at her word that this book was a hilarious must-read, I snagged it off of her bookshelf and read it for myself.

It was written in a relaxed, conversational tone by a woman who is brutally honest about every aspect of her life.

There were certain passages I wished I could have unread as they were certainly TMI moments. However, overall it was a comical, entertaining read that is sure to put a smile on your face.

The author's candor makes the story feel real and relatable. You can't help but laugh at the situations she finds herself in and the way she describes them. It's like having a conversation with a friend who has some really funny stories to share.

Whether you're looking for a light-hearted read to pass the time or a book that will make you forget about your own troubles for a while, this one is definitely worth checking out.

I have a deep adoration for Jenny McCarthy. So, imagine my excitement when I happened to discover a book penned by her at the thrifty store. What a stroke of luck it was!

Right from the start, she openly discusses how crass and crude she is. I'm certain that ten or so years ago when she wrote this book, it might have been a bit shocking. However, unfortunately, this book hasn't aged as gracefully as she has.

We all have our moments of being a little crass and crude, and nowadays, you can easily find this kind of blunt, funny honesty on just about any blog.

Nonetheless, I'm glad I read the book. But even as my bath time read, it took me an eternity to get through. I still adore you, Jenny. I'm glad that things like this have paved the way for all of us - those in-your-face, curse-like-a-sailor, yet still somehow very sweet and ladylike girls like us.

This book took approximately 30 minutes to read.

I estimate that's about the same amount of time it took her to write this book.

I sort of have the urge to put "book" in quotations.

It was as if she selected several topics and allotted herself 5 minutes to think about each one.

Then she randomly lumped them together without any obvious order.

All the while, making sure to throw in a few "f" words and some embarrassing details from her personal life for good measure.

I'm not impressed at all.

If you're interested in this kind of book, you might as well read Chelsea Handler.

I picked this up at the library with the intention of giving my brain a much-needed rest - haha.

This turned out to be a really funny book. You truly have to appreciate her crass humor to fully enjoy it.

I also read "Belly Laughs" and had a great time with that one as well.

In fact, I read this book in just one day. I managed to do so during my Scooby Doo watching sessions and bath time.

If that gives you any indication of how engaging and intense the book is. It's the kind of book that just sucks you in and makes you want to keep reading until you're done.

Overall, I'm really glad I picked it up from the library. It provided the perfect escape and entertainment for me during my downtime.

I would definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good laugh and doesn't mind a bit of crass humor.

It's a lighthearted and fun read that's sure to put a smile on your face.

I'm really not sure if I truly like this book or not.

When she mentions "The Naked Truth" in the title, she's not joking around.

I find myself in a dilemma. Should I be embarrassed for reading it or should I feel embarrassed for her for writing it?

Certainly, there are parts of it that are quite funny.

However, there are also parts that provide way too much information. Take the bachelor party chapter for example.

Do I really need to know all that? Sadly, a significant portion of this book falls into the category of having too much information.

On the flip side, I openly admit that I laughed out loud at certain sections of it.

I especially had a great time reading the PMS-ing chapter.

Overall, my feelings towards this book are rather mixed.

I finished reading this article in about 3 hours because I simply could not put it down! It was that engaging and captivating. I was so impressed that I'm planning to send a copy of this to so many people. As I was reading, it felt as if I was having a conversation with myself. It was like imagining if I were famous and funnier. The entire time, I was laughing out loud. The humor and the relatable content really struck a chord with me. It was a truly enjoyable reading experience that I would highly recommend to others. I can't wait to share it with my friends and see their reactions.

Jenny McCarthy takes readers on an in-depth journey through her life as an ex-wife, a mother, and a family member in a truly hilarious manner.

She shares her experiences with such candor and wit that it makes for a quick and enjoyable read.

What makes this even more special is how relatable it is to the world of parenthood.

Whether you're a new parent or have been at it for a while, you'll find yourself nodding along and chuckling at the familiar situations she describes.

Her stories offer a unique perspective on the joys and challenges of raising a family, and the importance of family relationships.

Overall, it's a wonderful piece that will leave you entertained and with a newfound appreciation for the chaos and beauty of family life.

Another quick and entertaining read.

However, I think that since I've read several other of her books, I just didn't enjoy this book as much as I did the first one I read of hers.

It was too similar to the other books, and the comical take on "life" just wasn't as funny because I felt like I had heard it before.

The author's writing style is still engaging and easy to follow, but perhaps she needs to branch out and explore new themes and ideas to keep her readers interested.

Overall, it was a good read, but not as great as some of her previous works.

I would still recommend this book to fans of the author, but maybe not to those who are new to her writing.

They might want to start with one of her earlier books to get a better sense of her unique style and humor.

Wow, this book is truly awful, horribly, dreadfully awful.

I managed to plow through the first 20 pages or so, naively thinking that it would improve as I delved deeper.

However, as I skimmed through the remaining pages, I was dismayed to discover that it does not get any better.

Her writing style is completely obnoxious, lacking in finesse and grace.

The subject matter is equally unappealing, failing to engage or interest me in the slightest.

I cannot recommend this book to anyone, as it is a waste of time and money.

Save yourself the trouble and choose a different book to read.

I actually learned a great deal about myself from this book. It's quite obvious that I've never been married nor had children. However, Jenny and I do share a few things in common.


This realization made me reflect on my own life and the choices I've made. It's interesting how reading about someone else's experiences can give us such insights into our own.


By the way, if my ex were ever to ask me to buy a pair of jeans for his new girlfriend, I'll slug him. :) Just kidding, of course. But it does show that there are still some unresolved feelings there.


Overall, this book has been a great source of inspiration and self-discovery for me. I can't wait to see what else I'll learn about myself in the future.

I ran across this in the grocery store of all places. It was like a shining gem among the ordinary items on the shelves.

It enticed me with its captivating cover and the promise of something special inside. I just couldn't put it down.

I had no idea how funny she is until I started reading. The stories and anecdotes she shared were laugh out loud, pee your pants HILARIOUS!

What I truly love about this book is how honest she is about real life. She doesn't sugarcoat anything and presents the good, the bad, and the ugly with such authenticity.

Moreover, it's a quick read, which is perfect for those moments when you need a little pick-me-up or a break from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good laugh and a dose of realness.

I really liked this book. However, I had extremely high expectations for it. The reason is that I truly enjoyed the other two books in the series. I was envisioning this one to be just as great or even better. But unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed. I found that it wasn't as funny as I had hoped. It seemed to me that when the author wrote this book, she wasn't entirely comfortable discussing what was going on in her life.

Maybe she was holding back or had some inhibitions. As a result, the story didn't have the same charm and humor that the previous ones had. I still think it's a good book, but it just didn't meet my overly high expectations.

I hope that in the future, the author will be more open and confident in sharing her experiences, so that the books can be even more engaging and entertaining.
