Turning The Tables: From Housewife To Inmate And Back Again
Download Free (EPUB, PDF)

Teresa Giudice, star of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, has seen it all but nothing could compare to the media firestorm that ensued after she was convicted on federal fraud charges—and sentenced to fifteen months in prison. What was a skinny Italian to do? Keep a diary, of course…In her very first tell-all memoir, Teresa comes clean on all things Giudice: growing up as an Italian-American, starting a family, dealing with chaos on national television, and coming to terms with the reality of life in prison. Featuring scans from her coveted prison diary, Turning the Tables captures some of the most memorable moments of her stay, including the fights she witnessed, the awkward conundrum of being trapped when a fellow inmate had a…guest…over, and the strength she found while confined between four concrete walls. Now with an exclusive bonus chapter, Teresa reflects on the days following her December 2015 release, and the heart-wrenching weeks leading up to the night she had to say good-bye to her husband, Joe…who has left to serve his own prison sentence. Even at her lowest of lows, Teresa was able to live la bella vita by staying positive and realizing her purpose. Friends, foes, and fans have speculated about Teresa’s life off-camera, but nothing will prepare you for the revelations she makes in this entertaining and ultimately heartwarming memoir.

I'm dumber for reading this book.

I skimmed through the first several chapters about her family and life growing up. Also, the chapters about her being on the Real Housewives. it was very boring and heavy on self praise and her wonderful family. No raw truth or self awareness or insight into lessons learned for where her life has gone wrong and landed her into prison in the first place. She pats herself on the back for all of the good that she did in helping others in prison and has no insight to what got her in there in the first place. What a disappointment.

This book is the worst tripe ever! It's very clear that Teresa has less than NO remorse for her multiple and very serious CRIMES! Really, seriously Teresa? All she does is complain, and it's always all about HER! UGH!!! Please do NOT waste your hard earned money on this this piece of CRAP book! Clearly Teresa hasn't changed ONE iota and never will! She got off WAY too easy for her many crimes in my opinion!

Very simple writing. I thought at first they chose a poor ghost writer but I believe the book was written in Theresa's style. Synopsis of the book: Poor Theresa. Everyone is weird or wrong and the judicial system just didn't listen to her explanation.

This book is a waste of time. Teresa is self absorbed and has learned nothing from her time in prison. There is still no remorse as she still claims she signed documents without reading them. I wish I could give it 0 stars.

I wish I could return a kindle version. The book is a fast read because it reads like magazine fluff. There is nothing in the book that is not already online unless you want to know more about prison sex. My advice is to read what is said online and save your money.

My first review was rejected because I told the truth. Let's try this again. She was released from jail on Dec. 23. The book came out in early February. Do you really think she wrote a 288 page book in a month? Stop giving this criminal you money.

OMG....my 5 year old daughter reads better than this! What is that, say 2 words then pause, sing songy thing she is doing? It is worse than having a root canal listening to this drivel and this illiterate woman try to read it. Don't waste your hard earned money on this tripe and give it to this convicted felon.
