Description

“A remarkable book . . . It's an important text when it comes to understanding what it is to be a gay man today.” ― Time “Cable TV's dishiest guy at his dishy best. . . a glamorous, goofy look at 365 days of a charmed showbiz life.” ― Kirkus “[Cohen's] writing style is conversational and tight, infused with snarky and self-deprecating humor . . . He owns the name-dropping and navel-gazing, but has the honesty, wit and confidence to pull it off, striking a balance between being self-involved and self-aware.” ― The Associated Press “A wild, starry ride.” ― Us Weekly “After reading this funny, intimate, candid, honest diary of a year in Andy's life, I couldn't help but wonder, 'Is Andy Cohen...Carrie Bradshaw?'” ― Sarah Jessica Parker “The funniest thing I've done all year is read Andy Cohen's Diaries. He has more genuinely funny and surprising encounters with celebrities and sublebrities in a day than I do all year. Then my name popped up. Now I just want to sue him.” ― Anderson Cooper “I am not, nor have I ever been, engaged to Andy Cohen. But his book is really funny.” ― Sean Avery “Andy Cohen keeps the oddest hours of anyone in the building. he comes, he goes, he comes back (in the middle of the night.) Now, I finally found out where he's going. If you ask me, nobody should be allowed to have this much fun.” ― Surfin Percy, Andy's Doorman “Andy Cohen's diaries are the literary equivalent of a Fresca and tequila.” ― Jimmy Fallon Andy Cohen is the author of four New York Times bestselling books. He is the host and executive producer of Watch What Happens Live , Bravo’s late-night interactive talk show. He also serves as executive producer of the Real Housewives franchise and hosts the network’s highly rated reunion specials. He’s won an Emmy and two Peabody Awards for his work, and he lives in New York City with his two children.

Petty but Persistently Chuckle-Filled (Review by Ryan Mease)

This is a (surprisingly long) gossip rag by a TV personality. It's consistently humorous but will slowly rot your mind before you reach the back cover. Valueless, lacking in direction or dignity, petty and rude. I would likely give the book four stars because in some ways it's hard to be surprised that a personality like Andy Cohen would produce this kind of tell-all. However, because Cohen so cooly slips on a variety of gay stereotypes, to the clear detriment of the community, I cannot recommend the book for even humorous reading. It's crass. You'll laugh because we all laugh at rude jokes, but to be honest, you're better than this book. -Ryan Mease

Don't do it to yourself.

Probably the most self-indulgent, boring book of all time. I'm always game for some juicy, shallow gossip, ND was hoping for that here, but this was just bad. Boring daily diary entries having to do with working out, eating dinner, walking the dog, etc. It just felt like it was written to satisfy his own ego and not for the benefit of us, the reader. You don't get much good behind the scenes juice. It's just not worth it. I never stop reading books before they're over and I just couldn't waste anymore of my life on this one - I put it down before the end. You can definitely skip this one.

Stay with it

First half drags as it mostly depicts day-to-day activities. But the second half more than
makes up for it. Andy's forays to Fire Island and Southampton left me laughing.
