After Valerie Bertinelli

We're Going to Need More Wine by Gabrielle Union

Valerie Bertinelli made you feel seen in her kitchen; Gabrielle Union pours the wine and keeps talking past midnight. We're Going to Need More Wine brings the same friend-in-your-living-room honesty—Hollywood access included—but with sharper edges around marriage, motherhood, and rewriting your story when the script doesn't fit. Humor, vulnerability, and real takeaways for readers ready to repair, not just confess.

Open Book by Jessica Simpson

Valerie Bertinelli made you feel seen with her unflinching confessions about dieting, divorce, and Hollywood's impossible standards. Jessica Simpson's memoir hits with that same gut-punch honesty—another familiar face tearing down the glossy facade to reveal emotional eating, relentless scrutiny, and messy comebacks. This is catharsis for women who've loved imperfectly and emerged stronger without pretending they've got it all figured out.
