This book was a quick read and I'm glad! Mommywood was painfully obnoxious and Spelling's insecurities, paranoia and whiny outlook on life set my teeth on edge. The premise of this book is based on her personal growth and new-found confidence gained through her marriage and becoming a new mother. Instead she portrays herself as needy and clingy while constantly in a state of paranoia about what other people (neighbors, celebrities, etc) may or may not think of her, yet fails to reach out and make a connection with any of them.

I did read sTORI Telling and found it to be entertaining enough to pick up this newest memoir. In her previous book she writes about her strained relationship with her mother and her unique childhood growing up in the spotlight. In Mommywood, the subject of her mother became redundant and nearly every chapter contained a similar sentence: "I'm sure you know by now my mother and I haven't had the best relationship...." So if you are fascinated about the story of Candy and Tori, then you may enjoy hearing about it again and again throughout Mommywood.
