I Do, Now What?: Book Review & Giveaway!

So, remember five months ago when I said I was going to review "I Do, Now What?" by Giuliana & Bill Rancic? It's okay, I barely remember it either. I guess that's what happens when you are a blog slacker go on a spontaneous blogging hiatus. :) Either way, I'm finished reading this book and am ready to review it & pass it on to one of my awesome readers as promised!

As Giuliana would say, this book was amazeballs! I will be getting married in December of this year so I decided to move this book up in my TBR pile because I was curious what one of my fave celebrity couples had to say about love, marriage, & what their opinions were about the makings of a successful relationship. I've always loved Giuliana & Bill as a couple because they seem genuinely down to earth and this book made me believe that even more . They are the couple I would love to have as neighbors. The format of this book was basically Bill & Giuliana bantering playfully back and forth on subjects such as money, jealousy & sex. I laughed out loud a lot while reading this! They shared lots of stories about their relationship, some of which weren't that flattering (don't we all have those) - but hey, as a reader I appreciated the realness. This book showed that even though they may be rich & famous, they still deal with the same day to day issues that every couple faces. Giuliana & Bill have also had some especially difficult hurdles in their marriage such as Giuliana's battle with cancer & their struggle with infertility (YAY! for their soon to be born son).  I would definitely recommend this book to someone who is soon to be marrried, those who have been married for awhile, or someone who just loves G & B's show and wants to see them from another perspective.
