Book Description:
Dear Diary,
Decided to write book today.
Thought am good writer, am smart gal, have interesting sex-filled (lie) life.
Thought can write about men, life, love, family, food, sex, and fat assedness.
Thought can share stories with tiny-butted and big-butted alike.
Can tell people why fat, why (was) cokehead, why traffic jams and herbal laxatives don’t mix, and why suede pants and sprinklers have same rule.
Can show smarts and ingenuity…(Note to self: should seek patent on ideas for multiple uses of triple-x elastic-waisted pants, and negotiate with airlines on new seating classes invented by self.)
More important…can show world how life is beautiful and funny, no matter size of butt.
There was once a girl named Kirstie Lou.
She dreamed that one day she would be a huge star. So she worked hard to achieve her dream--never suspecting just how huge she would one day become.
This is the story of her Tiny-Butted then Big-Butted then Tiny-Butted life...with true tales of men, mischief, loss, cocaine, suede pants, religion, chicken and noodles and family, all thrown into the pie.
Buon Apetito!
Alley's accounting gives readers and intimate look into her life while providing a hilarious view of being overweight in a skinny-obsessed world. Whether readers are struggling with weight or personal integrity - or if they're just looking for love and happiness - they'll identify with Alley's experiences. She tells it like it is and helps us laugh at ourselves (and others.)

Neither memoir nor humor nor diet book, this odd duck is a compilation of vignettes from Alley's childhood and musings about her weight, kids, and body image.

Kirstie Alley is hilarious! This was a quick read and I didn't want to put it down.

I love Kirstie and was actually surprised to find out that she had written a book. It's a comical take on her life and the reasons for her lack of will power with her weight. Sometimes this book surprised me with the harsh, lewd comments, but it definitely let Kirstie's personality come through. It definitely is NOT a "How to lose weight" book, but more of an autobiography on her struggles with weight. It's a quick read and very enjoyable.

She has a very comical and raw style, does not shy away from embarrassing details and graphic descriptions, and fills in the blanks on what you think you might know about her. If she wasn't so rich and famous, you would have the feeling you were having a hushed conversation at a sleepover with your slightly older, slightly slutty cousin who doesn't mind giving you EVERY detail of her last date. It's a quick read, warm and humorous with a sprinkling of scandal and groans and a little revenge, a good time. I definitely recommend it, and like the others reviewing it say, it is NOT a diet book, the theme of weight just is a constant throughout her adult life.
Jason R. (Funny. Quick read. Book was very random, but enjoyable. A definite book for Kirstie Alley fans.
Great book, like Kirstie nobody could pronounce my name or spell it correctly, I like her as an actor as well as an author......

Good book if you're a Kirstie fan. Funny and sometimes lewd, she does have a unique sense of humor!
Pamela R. (She's big, bawdy, and brash! Loved her sense of humor. Quick read
I found out a lot about kirsty that I didn't know, but not sure it really explains how to lose weight!
Rebecca B. (Great Book and refreshing humor on a frustrating subject!
