Brandi Glanville is drinking and tweeting and boy have I enjoyed it! A Short Review.

If you are at all familiar with Brandi Glanville, then you know that she isn't the type of girl that beats around the bush or minces words in any way. That is one of the reasons, heck the major reason, why I couldn't wait to read her book, Drinking and Tweeting and other Brandi Blunders. It is Brandi's autobiography and is co-writter by Leslie Bruce.
And can I just tell you how great it is? IT IS GREAT! It was so great , in fact, that I had to make myself put the book down a couple of times, because I didn't want to finish it too quickly. Yes. I loved it that much.

I am the type of reader that really must be entertained, even captivated, for a book to hold my interest. And, this is one book that did not disappoint. And apparently, I am far from alone in my opinion. The book is a  NY Times Best Seller after all. I am not at all surprised. It's a great success for Glanville, especially because so many of her cohorts have also written books, and many have had much less  favorable reviews.

Glanville's claim to fame has been her spot as a "housewife" on the hit Bravo franchise, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. She is also the ex-wife of Eddie Cibrian, a little known Cuban actor who is now married to country singer LeAnn Rimes.


If you are a Brandi fan, I can pretty much guarantee that you will just LOVE this book! I just did not want to put it down. It may be one of the few books that I actually read again!

Brandi delves right into the private details of her life in this book. The good, bad, sad and ugly, and she does it in a way that makes you root for her every step of the way! She writes about her life as a housewife and mother, her marriage and it's break up. And this is what this book centers on, along with Brandi's ways of coping with the dissolution of the  marriage and her family life.And although it can be sad at times, it is very entertaining to read. Glanville has a way of speaking that is biting and delicious all at once. She just says it like it is! And I just adore that about her.

Brandi and Ex-husband Eddie Cibrian.

She speaks about her history growing up in a very inner city part of Sacramento Ca., and her obsession with blue eyeliner and eyebrow plucking. She also speaks in detail about meeting her ex-husband, actor Eddie Cibrian and the tumultuous, yet very passionate, marriage that was shared between them resulting in them having two little boys together. She also talks very candidly about the other woman, and her very real feelings about her, much of which has been very public.





This book is a gem. The reviews are right, it is just good and fun. If you are a Brandi fan you will love her even more after reading the book. And, if you are not too familiar with Ms. Brandi, I think this book will make you a fan. She is so honest that you cannot help but admire her. She really puts it all out there and you ultimately just want to be her friend. You want to be in her corner. Whether you agree with the choices she has made in her life, whether it be personal or professional, the bottom line is that at least you will understand why she has made the choices she has.

She admits she isn't perfect and that she has screwed up in the past, but she continues to try to better herself. And, you just can't hate her for it. It is her forwardness and honesty that make this book such a success and breath of fresh air. Please, go get this book. You will be happy you did.
