About this listen
The fan-favorite star of Netflix’s hit reality series Selling Sunset recalls her life in and out of the spotlight, an inspiring and surprising chronicle of adversity, tragedy, trauma, and success.
In the streaming reality series Selling Sunset, Mary Fitzgerald Bonnet is the charismatic, calm, and level-headed agent who effortlessly lands multi-million-dollar homes while sidestepping the drama of a cutthroat business in one of the wealthiest and most glamorous places in the world. Often thought of as the “big sister” of her co-stars for her compassionate advice and uplifting attitude, Mary is admired for her unwavering kindness. But behind her sunny personality is a remarkable story of resilience, forged by a life filled with profound challenges.
In Selling Sunshine, Mary candidly reveals the most grueling and darkest moments of her personal journey. Becoming a mother at sixteen, she was forced to rely on her own resolve and tenacity, juggling multiple jobs while attending school and caring for her son. With vulnerability and grace, Mary reflects on how her crash-course in adulthood not only changed her, but prepared her for the trials to come, including two painful divorces and toxic relationships. Despite the pain, she kept moving forward even in the aftermath of terrifying trauma.
Yet no matter how many obstacles she faced, Mary refused to let the darkness extinguish her light. It was that same strength and determination that eventually carried her to the top of her field and helped her cope with unexpected fame. Talking about her experience on Selling Sunset, she offers a rare glimpse at cast dynamics and the drama behind the scenes, and reveals the lessons she’s learned—from staying true to yourself to projecting positivity by supporting colleagues. Unfiltered and genuine, Mary’s story will inspire listeners to overcome life’s obstacles, and discover the power of finding their own sunshine.

Story5 out of 5 stars 803
In the early 2000s, after years of hard work and determination to breakthrough as an actor, Bethany Joy Lenz was finally cast as one of the leads on the hit drama One Tree Hill. Her career was about to take off, but her personal life was slowly beginning to unravel. What none of the show’s millions of fans knew, hidden even from her costars, was her secret double life in a cult. An only child who always wanted a place to belong, Lenz found the safe haven she’d been searching for in a Bible study group with other Hollywood creatives. However, the group soon morphed into something more sinister.

Signed to a major recording deal at just 12 years old, JoJo catapulted to the top of the pop-and-R&B-infused charts in the mid 2000's. The relatability of her youth and the appeal of her cool-girl mystique earned her millions of fans around the world. JoJo was an undeniable superstar and pop culture fixture, spanning roles in major studio films, omnipresence on Top 40 radio, frequenting magazine covers, and appearing on national TV. Then, out of the blue, everything came to a halt and JoJo seemingly stepped out of the spotlight, leaving many fans to wonder: What happened to JoJo?

A month later, Lisa Marie was dead, and the world would never know her story in her own words, never know the passionate, joyful, caring, and complicated woman that Riley loved and now grieved. Riley got the tapes that her mother had recorded for the book, lay in her bed, and listened as Lisa Marie told story after story about smashing golf carts together in the yards of Graceland, about the unconditional love she felt from her father, about being upstairs, just the two of them.

“These poems were written in an attempt to excise the illness that had taken root in me because of my silence. I’ve spent my entire life keeping the secrets of men, my body aches from carrying the weight of their sins. My freedom lives in these pages, and I hope that my words can inspire others to take back their happiness and their identity by using their voice to illuminate what’s been buried, but not forgotten, in the darkness,” says Fox.

All Jackie Goldschneider ever wanted was to be thin. As a child, she’d stand in front of the mirror, sucking in her stomach and arching her back to feel her ribs, praying to see a model-like figure looking back. As an obese teen, lonely and tormented by her weight, her doctor encouraged her to start dieting, ultimately leading to a prolonged battle with anorexia that nearly took her life. After decades of hiding her eating disorder from friends, family, and the world, Jackie is ready to expose the realities of her devastating struggle.

For his victims, for their families and for the investigators tasked with finding him, the senselessness and brutality of the Golden State Killer's acts were matched only by the powerlessness they felt at failing to uncover his identity. Then, on April 24, 2018, authorities arrested 72-year-old Joseph James DeAngelo at his home in Citrus Heights, Calif., based on DNA evidence linked to the crimes. Amazingly, it seemed, evil finally had a name. Please note: This work contains descriptions of violent crime and sexual assault and may not be suitable for all listeners.

What does “Give them Lala” mean? It means giving the truest, most honest version of yourself to the world. It means being authentic, bold, adventurous, and having an unapologetic approach to life. Hollywood is where Lauren Burningham, aspiring actress from Utah, fully embraced her alter-ego Lala Kent, entrepreneur, entertainer, and film and television star. Some say she’s rude; Lala says she claps back. Some say she’s too bold; Lala knows she’s reality TV gold. Truth is, without giving them Lala, Lauren could never have become the woman she is today.

Marian Schembari was thirty-four years old when she learned she was autistic. By then, she’d spent decades hiding her tics and shutting down in public, wondering why she couldn’t just act like everyone else. Therapists told her she had Tourette’s syndrome, obsessive-compulsive disorder, sensory processing disorder, social anxiety, and recurrent depression. They prescribed breathing techniques and gratitude journaling. Nothing helped. It wasn’t until years later that she finally learned the truth: she wasn’t weird or deficient or moody or sensitive or broken. She was autistic.

In this timely memoir, Valderrama looks back on his journey from a tiny pueblo in Venezuela to the big city of Los Angeles—how he discovered his calling as an actor and later as a USO Global Ambassador, found work in Hollywood as an unproven Latino actor, and used his determination and success to build a new life for himself, his family, and many others.

Very good
Great insight into her life and her hardships. Didn’t particularly love the ad plugs and brand endorsements. It seemed forced.

Absolutely amazing
A very optimistic and candid story, honestly, just downright inspiring. I wish I had Mary's resilience. Thank you for sharing your story, it made my own similar experiences feel less dramatic and it helps knowing we are never alone in our grief. 5 stars.

Genuine, real, and unexpected! Love this!!!!
Mary’s story is raw, honest, and such an incredible show of how someone can come from a challenging position multiple times in life and show up triumphant. There is also some Selling Sunset stories in there that are so interesting to hear for any super fan.
I cried, laughed, smiled, and loved the whole thing, binged listened to her book in 24 hours.
I will also mention too, Mary’s speaking voice in this audio book is lovely and she is a pleasure to listen to.
Definitely a memorable memoir and I am rooting for her! Love this work she did and can’t wait to continue to watch her succeed.

Interesting life
You really never know what someone’s backstory is. Seeing her in selling sunset doesn’t make me think that she had this incredible backstory and those challenges. Reading her book makes me know that whatever you go through it doesn’t excuse bad behavior, you choose to be a good person and believe in the good of people
