Resumen del Editor

The number-one New York Times best-selling author returns with this candid, humorous, and captivating memoir chronicling her journey toward reinvention and self-acceptance.

When you've come out the other side of the bizarre, twisted world of the Playboy mansion, where do you land? If you're Holly Madison...there's no place like Las Vegas!

After making the sudden decision to reclaim her life, Holly broke free from the sheltered, deceptive confines of the mansion (which meant exiting a hit television show) and was determined to start her life over...from scratch. Without the security of a job or a relationship, she set out to reinvent herself on no one's terms but her own.

Deciding to roll the dice and begin again in the glamorous and dreamlike city of Las Vegas, Holly quickly realized that while she may have left her past in the rearview mirror, the labels and stereotypes that came from it weren't so quick to leave her. With a fierce commitment to take charge of her own narrative, Holly dives headfirst into a journey of self-discovery. After a whirlwind stint on Dancing with the Stars, she snags the coveted lead role in the Strip's hottest new burlesque spectacular and lands a reality series spotlighting her new life as a single woman.

If her own television show and dream job as a showgirl aren't enough to keep her busy, Holly explores the decadent, exclusive inner world of Sin City, navigating its social and dating scene with humor and heart. When it comes to romance, she is met with an eclectic cast of characters, from fame hounds to long-distance loves to the occasional celebrity and more than one tabloid mishap. In this reflective, heartwarming memoir, Holly learns that each dating disaster holds an important - and, in some cases, difficult to face - lesson about herself.

The Vegas Diaries is a comedy of errors set against the glitz and glamour of the dazzling Vegas Strip. Through the wild and crazy experiences on one young woman's quest to have it all, Holly faces her fears, anxieties, and insecurities to discover that her journey to self-sufficiency is also her path to healing. Letting go of trying to prove herself to others, Holly finally gains the courage to confront her past - and in the process finds the life and love she deserves.

Not What I Expected

I was looking forward to this book as I was hooked on Down The Rabbit Hole but I hate to say it.. Was kind of disappointed.

Eh......

Nothing that her 1st book didn’t already say. Nothing new at all. Just trying to extend her 15 minutes.

loved this book!

it dragged at some points. the first book she wrote is still my favorite but she is an amazing narrator! i loved this book! worth the listen for any woman out there :)

Fine read not as good as before

Not as good as her first book but not bad . The Story overall was good

Glad I listened to it.

I really enjoyed it. Holly narrating it absolutely made this story. She was really brave admitting her faults in front of the whole world. Some of which I can very much relate to.

Very good

I was looking for something else to read and I really loved Holy Madison’s first book, down a rabbit hole, so I wasn’t to stay with her. I was intrigued by mansion life, so I wanted to see how much was in this book. Disappointingly there wasn’t much, but I still enjoyed following her life!

great narrator, loved the story, well told

loved this book, and the authors view thru her eyes and the connection to her audience

Fun story!

I hope Holly writes more books. I loved every minute. Her voice is a pleasure to listen too! Best audible voice yet!

I'm 50/50 about this book.

I think Holly Madison did a great job reading the book. she should narrate more books! I didn't read her 1st book yet. I found the beginning ( 1-5) interesting by the middle of the book (8-14) I started to feel she was getting so whiny!! s3lf absorbed about how needed and self centered she was. Everything was about her, love life,being needy,caring way too much about what other thought. MOST OF ALL.... HELLO UR AN ADULT!!! LIFE IS NOT A FAIRY TALE. U DO NOT LIVE IN 1 & U ARE NOT SNOW WHITE, DOROTHY FROM OZ OR ANY OTHER PRINCESS!!! That is ridiculous!! The last 2 to 3 chapters of the book ended well, on her terms. Still in her imagination she found her fairy tale ending. 🧚‍♀️ OK Holly Madison, was a playboy playmate, she did her thing. pros and cons. By the time the.book ended to me.... in my opinion. she sounded like she was living her fairy 🧚‍♂️ tale.

Holly Madison, please just stick with doing Narration of more books. I think you really good at that!!

Loved it!

Love Holly! I highly recommend her books! If you like her podcast, you will enjoy this!
