Amazing book
5By Steph0323This is one of the best books I’ve read. Every chapter gets better and more shocking!One of the most inspiring stories I’ve read in a long time!
5By Christina101411As a longtime fan of Jersey Shore, this book went above and beyond the scenes. It was so raw, inspiring and beautifully written. You truly never know what someone is going through until you’ve walked in their shoes, and while I obviously haven’t walked directly in Mike’s shoes, many people have experienced some of the same things. For Mike to take the time and tell his story so clearly and openly it made me feel sadness and happiness all in one book. I couldn’t put the book down. It was so inspiring and truly heartwarming. It makes you realize the reality stars you watch on TV aren’t just pawns on the television they are people just like you and me and they go through troubles and tribulations just like everyone else. It really is how you view and tackle your problems. Thank you for writing this inspiring story and many blessings to you and your family, you can finally find peace in your life and I’m so happy it’s found your beautiful souls.Inspirational
