Being a fan of Jessica Simpson growing up, curiosity and nostalgia drew me into this short. I always loved her beautiful voice and her talent was entertaining. Much of my knowledge of her during that time included magazine articles, her reality show or just simply connecting with her music. It was disheartening seeing her portrayed a certain way by the media because at the end of the day, many of us just know them as entertainers but people forget they are real people. This was a refreshing reflection getting to learn about this side of her personality and her social life.

Beyond the gossip, it was nice getting a glimpse of her opening up about exploring relationships after being with the first man she ever loved. Her experience and sharing her thoughts, her experiences can be relatable on a personal level. Her growth and lessons she learned through those experiences allowed her to understand what not to do and just be in the moment.

After reading this short, I wish that I had listened to the audible version first. She did really well narrating her book. This was one of those shorts that the audible version made the experience much more fun. Who knew she was so funny? Seeing how beyond her singing she created a lifestyle brand for herself, I think this would make a great autobiographical series of shorts continuing with her story. I wish this could’ve been longer but overall, it was interesting.
