As 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.

Amazing. Truly an inspiration. Wonderful story.

This is a great story about a man who went through rock bottom to become who he is today. The world watched this man crumble, but also watched him build himself up. A wonderful read.

Not what I expected to read, but in a good way! Great book!

Your writing is outstanding. I love how deep and real you make this. I’ve never felt so connected just through a book. These real life stories you tell are very impactful! Thank you BDS for such an amazing read, can’t wait for pt.2 ❤️

this book goes into dept of drug abuse and shows how bad someone is going through. I always loved watching Jersey Shore and never liked Mike because how mean he was but after reading this book it wasn’t Mike, it was the drugs doing it. 10/10 would recommend this book to anyone!

Amazing, entertaining and a true testament to faith and hard work. I have gained huge respect for Mike, as he wrote these raw feelings in this book for millions, truly an amazing story.

What an amazing story all the way to the end. I never knew exactly what Mike went through but I tell ya it's a wander he is still alive. He came out a better man and I am so happy for him and his whole Family. You go Sitch.

What an amazingly powerful life story! After watching him on TV for so many years you can hear his voice as you read his story.

Loved this book and how honest Mike was, wish there was a bit more Jersey Shore behind the scenes info but all in all very good!
