I am floored at how good this book was
Book of the year
My girlfriend reads 55 books a year so I set a goal for my self to read one. It didn’t take me long to pick this book. I was a huge fan of the show and when my good friend from high school passed away in 2020 to a fentanyl overdose, I started to rewatch the show and stumbled into Jersey shore family vacation. I’ve heard Mike on podcast. Talk about the book in the stories in it, but it’s truly inspiring what he’s gone through and who he has become.
Nothin better
As someone who has watched the show time and time again, it was great reading mikes story and understanding him from a different lens. Very well written and difficult to put down!
