Not All Diamonds and Rosé: The Inside Story of the Real Housewives from the People Who Lived It
Not All Diamonds and Rosé: The Inside Story of the Real Housewives from the People Who Lived It | Dave Quinn
10 posts | 7 read | 3 to read
Welcome to the ultimate Real Housewives reunion! Dave Quinn's Not All Diamonds and Rosé is the definitive oral history of the hit television franchise, from its unlikely start in the gated communities of Orange County to the pop culture behemoth it has become--spanning eight cities, hundreds of cast members, and millions of fans. What is it really like to be a housewife? We all want to know, but only the women we love to watch and the people who make the show have the whole story. Well, listen in close, because they're about to tell all. Nearly all the wives, producers, and network executives, as well as Andy Cohen himself, are on the record, unfiltered and unvarnished about what it really takes to have a tagline. This is your VIP pass to the lives behind the glam squads, testimonials, and tabloid feuds. Life's not all diamonds and rosé, but the truth is so much better, isn't it? Includes Color Photographs

A MUST read for any RH fan!! The book explores all the franchises beginning with OC and ending with Dallas. I stopped watching RH when I moved overseas but I still enjoyed reading all the shenanigans from seasons and franchises I wasn‘t familiar with. The Ebook contains all the housewives taglines, original cast & lots of photos too!!! A really FUN read - thanks again @KarenUK GREAT CHOICE - I LOVED it 🥰

TrishB I didn‘t even realise what RH stood for!! 2y
Cinfhen Im not surprised since you‘re not a Telly fan @TrishB 😘😘 2y
vivastory Whenever I hear about RH I always think of the cat meme 🤣 2y
Lindy @TrishB Me either. Took me a few minutes to figure it out. 2y
KarenUK I knew you‘d love it. Such a fun trashy read xxxx 2y

Started my little free library find. I won't read the entire book as I've only watched a few of the franchises and only a couple seasons of those. But, a light hearted, easy read is just what I need right now. I feel a book slump coming on. (Happens to everyone at some point, right?)

Stopped at my little free library the other day and donated 10 books.
Found 2 that look half decent.
Not All Diamonds & Ross by Dave Quinn (Real Housewives-- thought it would make a light drivel kind of read)
Devil Bones by Kathy Reichs-- sounded like the kind of book I used to enjoy back in the day.

A little guilty pleasure of mine has always been reality TV. This book does not disappoint! Filled with interviews that really give insight and background into the Housewives Franchises. I loved every second of it.

I didn‘t get to read as much as I thought I would during my Thanksgiving week off; this happens every year but I‘ve felt in a reading rut lately. This was a fun dive into HW‘s antics and I enjoyed every minute. Hopefully I find a book that grabs me soon!

I‘m going in! This one seems to be causing quite the stir (and new feuds) among the housewives…. Really in the mood for some gossipy nonsense and some behind the scenes tea! ☕ï¸

JacqMac I am intrigued. I love some good gossip. And some housewives. (edited) 3y
KarenUK @JacqMac 🤦â€â™€ï¸me too! 3y
Breanne1 I‘ve started this one too…such great gossip coming out. 3y
