Open Book by Jessica Simpsons

BATB score: 5/10 💋

written by Jessica Simpsons for Jessica Simpsons

Best as: a nostalgic ride back to the good years - 2000s; MTV billboard, skinny low waisted jeans, paparazzi, reality TV, unrelated music videos, lip sync but touching lyrics,success measured based on how many CDs you’ve sold

Best to: Mickey Mouse Club The Disney Channel Season 6-7 1993-1995 has made big name celebrities: Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Justin Timberlake, Ryan Gosling; and no, Jessica Simpson didn’t make it

Best for: only if you know this song, Jessica Simpson - These Boots Are Made for Walkin' or A Public Affair

BATB lingering thought: isn’t fame funny? from a big shot, paparazzi everywhere wanting to snoop your private life to a nobody now publishing your private life to cash out a few final passive income and leave a legacy?

Best quotes: “Who knows who Celine Dion was told she had to be when she started out, and later, even with all her success, who she was told she had to be to stay at the top?”

“How was I supposed to live a real, healthy life filtered through the lens of a reality show? If my personal life was my work, and my work required me to play a certain role, who even was I anymore?”

“The moment people leave you alone, it will be because you stopped standing up for yourself.”
