A #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Beloved actress, Food Network
personality, and New York Times bestselling author Valerie
Bertinelli reflects on life at sixty and beyond. Behind the curtain
of her happy on-screen persona, Valerie Bertinelli's life has been
no easy ride, especially when it comes to her own self-image and
self-worth. She waged a war against herself for years, learning to
equate her value to her appearance as a child star on One Day at a
Time and punishing herself in order to fit into the unachievable
Hollywood mold. She struggled to make her marriage to Eddie Van
Halen - the true love of her life - work, despite all the rifts the
rock-star lifestyle created between them. She then watched her son
follow in his father's footsteps, right up onto the stage of Van
Halen concerts, and begin his own music career. And like so many
women, she cared for her parents as their health declined and saw
the roles of parent and child reverse. Through mourning the loss of
her parents, discovering more about her family's past, and
realizing how short life really is when she and her son lost Eddie,
Valerie finally said, "Enough already!" to a lifelong battle with
the scale and found a new path forward to joy and connection.
Despite hardships and the pressures of the media industry to be
something she's not, Valerie is, at last, accepting herself: she
knows who she is, has discovered her self-worth, and has learned
how to prioritize her health and happiness over her weight. With an
intimate look into her insecurities, heartbreaks, losses, triumphs,
and revelations, Enough Already is the story of Valerie's sometimes
humorous, sometimes raw, but always honest journey to love herself
and find joy in the everyday, in family, and in the food and
memories we share. "This thoughtful, bighearted book is sure to be
a hit with Bertinelli fans and those with an appetite for stories
of hard-won self-acceptance. A warmly intimate memoir." - Kirkus
Reviews "In a series of brutally frank essays, Bertinelli looks
back on the emotional struggles and triumphs of her life. By turns
raw and inspiring, this contains a little bit of wisdom for
everyone." - Publishers Weekly
