Summary

For fans of Open Book and Sell It Like Serhant, a heartfelt, humorous personal memoir and relatable guide to overcoming obstacles, wising up about romance, and getting ahead in your career from the star of Netflix’s hit reality show Selling Sunset

In this engaging, witty, and inspirational memoir, Chrishell Stause shares her story of living an unconventional childhood in small town Kentucky marked by periods of homelessness, family addiction struggles, and dreams of one day being on a daytime soap, all while managing the local Dairy Queen。 Through resilience and grit, she overcame obstacles and pushed past every barrier in her path to become one of the most envied luxury realtors in Los Angeles and buzzworthy cast members in reality TV。

She takes us behind the scenes of Selling Sunset, reveals never before told stories from her life in soaps, and even pulls back the curtain on her highly publicized love life, offering insight not before shared。 With her signature honesty and charm, Stause also gives tangible advice based on the lessons she’s learned over the years and offers unique insight about how to stay resilient and positive no matter how many times life knocks you down。 Under Construction is for anyone who wants to remember that no matter what happens or how, you have to get up, dress up, and show up, and walk back into the room stronger than ever before。

It's impossible not to love Chrishell Stause! She feels even more 'normal' and relatable to me after reading this。 It was honest, heartfelt, and I blew through it in a day。 It's impossible not to love Chrishell Stause!

Raw, honest and humble。 Loved the construction tips at the end of each chapter。 She doesn’t hide from her past, she embraces it and she’s built an amazing life。 Very inspiring story about never giving up and going for what you want in life and not settling for less。

I loved reading more about Chrishell, not only because she is my favorite realtor on Selling Sunset but because of where she came from。 I am so glad I got to read this。

I was excited to get this book。 I pre-ordered it in November 2021 and it just arrived。 The minute I picked it up, I couldn’t put it away。 The anecdotes , the simple yet funny and witty language is easy to read and follow。 It’s an ultimate confidence booster for women。 This book will definitely be re-read in the future!

Brittany

Chrishell is the most humbling reality tv star。 She is not ashamed of her past and she does such a great job in shedding little life lessons that she has gathered from climbing a ladder of personal growth。 This book only made me love and respect her more。

Susan

Lightweight book。 Chrishell had an interesting childhood with some struggles but she overcame it。 This book was engaging when she described her family life growing up but then it became less interesting when she wrote about her career, her ex-husband from that horrible dreary show he is on and current boss/boyfriend from whom she is already split。And then there are self-help/advice inserts in the middle of chapters。 I just skipped right over those。

Corri

Very short and simple。 It was cute and innocent and more like a motivational magazine article。

Laura

Great book! Mix of a memoir and inspirational/life advice。 Chrishell has such an interesting life story, and her likable personality shines through her writing。

Nisha Markanday

This was a surprising book for me。 It was a lot better than what I thought it would be! It was a very easy read, and I loved how not only was this an autobiography but there were a lot of motivational pieces to it too! I never highlight a book, but I had to! There were so many key quotes or things to live by and great tips too。 Such an uplifting and feel good book! Literally finished it within 2 reads。 Will recommend!

Logan

I love Chrishell and I’ve been a fan since AMC。 This book is great when it flows but there are some disjointed passages and I wish it followed a sequence that makes sense。 It’s part memoir and sort of a self help/ advice book。 I definitely enjoyed it。

Monica Gu

cute lil frothy celeb memoir (you get what you expect)。 chrishell is so sweet! went to her book signing with wendi and we took an extremely awk picture with her 😤

Katy Dann

Brilliant readI have to say this book was worth the wait。 It was completely different to what I expected。 I actually never read this type of book before so very impressed。 I wish Chrishell good luck in her adventures and hope she finally gets her happy ending she well deserves。 Well done

Review would have been higher but this was a very short book。 Details of her life were quite sparse。 Still enjoyable。

Rebecca

Thanks to the publisher, via Edelweiss, for an advance e-galley for honest review。3。5 stars, rounded up。 Short in length but a sweet, honest memoir from the best part (well, second to the real estate) of Selling Sunset。 You get a sense of the big heart and drive that have motivated Chrishell over the years。
