Know My Name by Chanel Miller, Narrated by the author
One of the best celebrity memoirs I’ve ever read (4.5 stars)! She’s a champion of women behind the scenes and her journey to become a woman she herself is comfortable with is inspiring. The new perspective on well known events is her candid thoughts and feelings. She talks about her struggle with weight and body image, her high profile romances (including more than I ever knew about her relationship with John Mayer), and starting her clothing business. I was so pleasantly surprised by this book! The title is perfect…Simpson is an open book with her life. But, I wasn’t sure how interesting her memoir would be…so much of her life was already public knowledge.

My Thoughts: I loved Newlyweds back when it was on TV and found Jessica Simpson entertaining and endearing. Plot Summary: The businesswoman, singer, and reality star talks candidly about her life and career. Open Book by Jessica Simpson, Narrated by the author It’s sort of a mash-up between Service Included, The Making of a Chef, and The Other Wes Moore…and a solid addition to the food memoir genre (4 stars)! And, he talks about the racism (sometimes overt, sometimes subtle – which was even more hurtful) that he experienced in various kitchens. He shares his experience at the Culinary Institute of America, extern-ing at Per Se, how he turned his life around after getting kicked out of college for dealing drugs, and the dark place he was in when his ambitious first restaurant failed. But, Onwuachi’s story is one of drive, hustle, hard work, and dreaming big. My Thoughts: Let me start by saying only a small part of Notes from a Young Black Chef goes behind the scenes of Top Chef…so don’t read it solely for that reason. Plot Summary: Onwuachi’s story of growing up in the Bronx and rising to culinary fame (and a successful appearance on Top Chef) by the age of 27.
