    <body><![CDATA[I was very torn on reading this book. First of all and most importantly, I think anyone who has the courage to openly admit and discuss their mental illness should be applauded. Any woman who suffers from post-partum depression should be encouraged(if not taken by the hand and led) to seek help and ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/42026726">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Honestly, this book was heart-breaking at times.  While watching Lipstick Jungle I fell in love with Brooke Shields and decided I needed to read her book.  While parts of it were hard to read, I think she was honest about her experience with post-partum depression and I appreciate that she never tri...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/52975683">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Overall this was a good book--especially if you have/are/may experience postpartum depression. Before you read it you do need to recognize that it is basically a biography of that time period for Brooke. It can be helpful to know you aren't alone, but the end of the book drags on a little too long f...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/55754257">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I really enjoyed this book.  Brooke writes so it's very easy to read and to follow her thoughts.  I actually found myself laughing out loud and smiling at certain parts and also feeling like crying at other parts.  Part of me is very drawn to this book because when she's describing her mood and the ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/53018951">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The things I liked about this book is that Brooke seems to be pretty open about a miscarriage, going through IVF and PPD.  <br/>I'm indifferent towards Brooke as an actress (I'm not really a fan, but I don't dislike her either) so it was a little too much &quot;all about Brooke&quot;.  <br/>I appr...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/62663436">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Jennifer recommended this book, but then when she got pregnant with Eddie she didn't want to read it. It has to do with the author's post partum depression after her first daughter was born. The title comes from &quot;The Itsy Bitsy Spider&quot; and the last chapter in the book is &quot;Out Came the...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/8693321">more...</a>]]></body>
