About this listen
Without her alter-ego Erika Jayne, Erika Girardi says she'd just be "another rich bitch with a plane" - so get ready for the dishy, tell-all memoir from show-stopping performer, model, singer, and beloved star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Erika Jayne.
Erika Jayne didn't make it this far by holding back. Now, in her first-ever memoir, the fan favorite star of Bravo's The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills bares her heart, mind, and soul.
In Pretty Mess, Erika spills on every aspect of her life: from her rise to fame as a daring and fiery pop/dance performer and singer; to her decision to accept a role on reality television; to the ups and downs of family life (including her marriage to famed lawyer Tom Girardi, 33 years her senior). There's much more to Erika Jayne than fans see on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Pretty Mess is her opportunity to dig deep and tell her many-layered, unique, and inspiring life story.
As fun and fearless as its author, this fascinating memoir proves once and for all why Erika Jayne is so beloved: she's strong, confident, genuine, and here to tell all!

Story
What does “Give them Lala” mean? It means giving the truest, most honest version of yourself to the world. It means being authentic, bold, adventurous, and having an unapologetic approach to life. Hollywood is where Lauren Burningham, aspiring actress from Utah, fully embraced her alter-ego Lala Kent, entrepreneur, entertainer, and film and television star. Some say she’s rude; Lala says she claps back. Some say she’s too bold; Lala knows she’s reality TV gold. Truth is, without giving them Lala, Lauren could never have become the woman she is today.

When you've come out the other side of the bizarre, twisted world of the Playboy mansion, where do you land? If you're Holly Madison...there's no place like Las Vegas. After making the sudden decision to reclaim her life, Holly broke free from the sheltered, deceptive confines of the mansion (which meant exiting a hit television show) and was determined to start her life over...from scratch. Without the security of a job or a relationship, she set out to reinvent herself on no one's terms but her own.

In the spring of 2006, a new kind of show premiered on Bravo: The Real Housewives of Orange County. Its stars were tanned, taut, and bedazzled; their homes were echoey California villas; and their drama was gossip-fueled, wine-drenched, and absolutely exquisite. Fifteen seasons on, RHOC is an institution, along with The Real Housewives of New York, Atlanta, New Jersey, Miami, Potomac, and more.

Pretty Mess better than expected!
Had fairly low expectations but this short and light read was more captivating and entertaining than I expected. Erika is refreshing in her honesty and she’s much more of a sweet and innocent woman albeit strong willed one than many might think. Favorite part was definitely her voice delivering the book. It’s fantastic! I’m a “housewives” fan and she hasn’t really been a favorite for me because she can come across as a bit of a know it all or “better than”? This book has totally changed my opinion of her though, not that Erika Jayne would give a f*ck!!! Lol I def recommend this book - she kept me company during two long hikes!!!

Light and fun, exactly what we need
The book was light hearted and quick witted, just like the Erika her fans know and love. Insightful as well, the book covers her upbringing and how she established herself as the star (and gay icon that she is)

Erika's 'cause no harm, but take no shit,' attitude was on full display in the best way possible through out this book.
Her strength, gratitude, and loving soul captures you in this biography.

Pleasantly Surprised
I really enjoyed this book and realized it finally around the 9th chapter that I'm not so different from Erika. She also narrates which conveys her raw emotions, and you can really get a good idea of her tones and feeling while she reads passages of her own written work. I was pleasantly surprised with how much I actually enjoyed listening to this audiobook.
EDIT: Seems we are actually quite different from Erika - considering I wouldn't swindle money from orphans and widows. Wish I could return this book now. It was good at the time, but certainly doesn't age well.
