Review
"Pulos, of Bravos reality series Flipping Out, charms in this frank and self-deprecating cross between memoir and how-not-to guide....She isnt shy about revealing her personal life—like the breakup of her first marriage on national TV or a humiliating encounter with a negative former teacher while working at a grocery store—which only serves to make her more appealing and relatable. Puloss central message in this encouraging volume is one that anyone would be smart to heed: when youre going through hell, keep on going, because everything works out in the end.
