Normal Gets You Nowhere audiobook

I love Kelly's straight-talking, funny, honest, modern, brash voice. I really do. I haven't read her first book (If You Have to Cry, Go Outside), but I will now. There were quite a few things that resonated with me in this book, particularly her views on fur and the fact that fashion can be compassionate and a source of good and healing energy. Love to have a sit-down with this woman. She had a few tangents and things I would have loved to know more about, but I loved that she works in the industry she does (fashion PR) but doesn't seem to tolerate the industry BS. Score one for empowering female advice.

I highly enjoyed the randomness! I have to admit, I found myself googling quite a few things. From Leonard Cohen, to Anna Jarvis, a refresher on US currency faces and Eleanor's backstory to name a few. Luckily the author provided a copy of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights... which I too had not read before. I want more stories from her sloppy twenties. I want more fashion gossip. I want more randomness!

At first, I thought this could be a fun/easy read. I was prepared to not have to finish it if it didn't keep my interest in the beginning. But once I started reading this, I just could not put it down. Kelly Cutrone's writing was easy to read (a bit vulgar at a time - but I wasn't expecting this to be some literary master piece), relevant, and EXTREMELY entertaining. Her stories and outlook on life are so real, and I felt like I could totally relate. She sounds like the girlfriend you want to have who will tell you the truth and no B.S., yet has enough life experience to give you guidance and know what's really important in life. It was especially nice that it's coming from a female point of view. The last chapter of the book was very emotional, I seriously made me cry (on the bus) and I had never thought this would be a book that could put me in tears.Good job Kelly. Thank you for writing this book.

I really liked listening to this audiobook. I've admired Kelly Cutrone and her no-nonsense attitude since watching her Bravo show, Kell on Earth. Initially, I was more interested in picking up her first book If You Have to Cry, Go Outside, but it wasn't available on audio so I settled for her second book and I am very happy I did! It mostly centers around her personal spiritual outlook and how she applies it to various aspects of her life. I always come away from books like this refreshed, especially when I identify strongly with the message the author is sending. Kelly read the book herself which was a nice personal touch. She has a great reading voice, although she did read a little fast. I look forward to going back and listening to her first book in the near future!

The divine Kelly Cutrone continues to impress me with her realness, her humor, and her spiritual intelligence.I love her take on life, love, professionalism and the things that do and should motivate us in our daily lives. She can get a bit hippy dippy at times, but with one foot grounded firmly in the frivolous land of fashion meets upstate New York girl born and bred-ness (to which I can relate), I can trust that her accounts of her spiritual awakenings are truly genuine, rough around the edges, and real!I had already written it down as a new year's resolution, but reading this book this week has renewed my dedication to find a place to volunteer once a week. There's absolutely no excuse for not giving back.

I absolutely loved this book. Some of the other reviews put down the "train of thought" type book; while I adored this train of thought, life praising, romp that takes so controversial views, but does so with passion and grace. Speaking from life experiences, but admitting she could be wrong at every corner I fell in love with Kelly. I am not familiar with the author's other work, but I don't think you have to be to "get it." Discussing life, death, friendship and standing up for what you believe in...there is really something here for everyone. I highly recommend this book!!

There are quite a few things about this book I do not agree with and the author does seem contradict herself in places, but I liked it anyway. Admittedly, my opinion may reflect some comparison issues, the previous book I finished was horrible. After reading sexist drivel it's nice to read anything that had a strong female voice. I also love how much of this book is about encouraging compassion for others.

I will adopt changes in my life from this book! It is a straight forward, no-nonsense book that gets your attention.

I loved this book. Kelly Cutrone is the woman I have always wanted in my life to tell me all the things in this book. Double awesome on Audiobook with her reading it.

Ahhh, Kelly Cutrone..you speak my language.

Quick fun read. Not for the easily offended. Love how she tells it like it is.

I just want to marry Kelly Cutrone already. Jesus Christmas in a manger, she is a boatload of fun.

I liked this book- a kind of memoir. An intelligent woman writing about her life and beliefs, I'm all for it. I feel inspired and interested in reading more by this author.

GREAT BOOK FOR TODAY'S WOMAN OR YOUNG WOMAN INSPIRING & INSIGHTFUL, EASY TO READ AND FUN!
