Publisher Description
"This is the third in Cohen’s series of published diaries, and I think they’re just the bee’s knees. In this one, he chronicles a year juggling Housewives, his precocious son, and a newborn daughter. There’s self-reflection, self-effacement, gossip, humor. I mean, there should be a National Book Award special citation for these books."- Vulture
This program is read by the author and includes off-the-cuff commentary that is exclusive to the audiobook.
New York Times bestselling author Andy Cohen goes from bottle service to baby bottles in a hilarious, heartwarming, and name-dropping account of the most important year of his life.
Andy Cohen has taken on the most important job of his life—father— and boy (and girl!) does he have a lot to say about it!
One of Andy Cohen’s most momentous years starts off with a hangover the morning after an epic New Year’s Eve broadcast. But Andy doesn’t have time to dwell on the drama, as his role as media mogul is now matched with the responsibilities, joys, and growing pains of parenthood.
This fast-paced, mile-a-minute look behind the scenes of living the so-called glamorous life in Manhattan now takes firm aim at life at home. With a three-year-old son, Ben, and a daughter, Lucy, born in May, stories of late-night parties are replaced by early mornings with Ben, drama at the play-ground, and the musings of a single dad trying to navigate having it all. All this is set against the backdrop of constant Housewives drama, hijinks behind the scenes at Watch What Happens Live, a revolving door of famous faces, and a worried mother (and newly minted grandmother) in St. Louis.
Buckle up, bottle up, and get ready for a laugh-out-loud and surprisingly poignant look at the ways in which family changes everything and the superficial gets very real. Watch what happens!
A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt & Company.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Fatherhood has made life a bit more chaotic—and a lot more awesome—for LGBTQ+ icon and TV mogul Andy Cohen. In his most emotionally honest memoir so far, the Real Housewives producer and host of Watch What Happens Live shares a year’s worth of his daily adventures as a dad. Cohen, a single, gay man whose kids arrived via a surrogate mom, leans into the contrast between his high-flying work and his unglamorous life as a dad. We get to hear about him hobnobbing with Anderson Cooper and Jimmy Kimmel one minute and enjoying imaginary tea parties and episodes of Sesame Street with infant Lucy and four-year-old Ben the next. Naturally, Cohen’s audiobook narration overflows with color, charisma, and fun, even when he’s describing the nitty-gritty (and sometimes hilariously icky) details of parenthood. If you’re a fan, you’ll love him even more. And if you’re a Cohen newbie, you may have a new hero.
Customer Reviews
Non stop thought talking…
Neat to hear transition into parenthood.
Just wish the text was a little more salacious.
Hard to Read
It was really slow, anti- climatic, and a little boring. It seemed that he would “spill the tea,” based upon how he promoted his book. However, it was everything but that. I couldn’t finish.
