Publisher's Summary

For fans of Open Book and Sell It Like Serhant, a heartfelt, humorous personal memoir and relatable guide to overcoming obstacles, wising up about romance, and getting ahead in your career from the star of Netflix’s hit reality show Selling Sunset.

In this engaging, witty, and inspirational memoir, Chrishell Stause shares her story of living an unconventional childhood in small-town Kentucky marked by periods of homelessness, family addiction struggles, and dreams of one day being on a daytime soap, all while managing the local Dairy Queen. Through resilience and grit, she overcame obstacles and pushed past every barrier in her path to become one of the most envied luxury realtors in Los Angeles and buzzworthy cast members in reality TV.

She takes us behind the scenes of Selling Sunset, reveals never-before-told stories from her life in soaps, and even pulls back the curtain on her highly publicized love life, offering insight not before shared. With her signature honesty and charm, Stause also gives tangible advice based on the lessons she’s learned over the years and offers unique insight about how to stay resilient and positive no matter how many times life knocks you down. Under Construction is for anyone who wants to remember that no matter what happens or how, you have to get up, dress up, and show up, and walk back into the room stronger than ever before.

Cute!

Listening to Chrishell tell her story is very uplifting and inspirational. I do find the writing to be a bit repetitive though, so sometimes it feels slightly juvenile.

Relatable

I love how relatable and transparent this book is. We are all under construction; and the author sharing her story definitely makes me want to work harder to make my dreams come true.

good but could've been better

I'm a big fan of chrishell, but I wish she went deeper into some parts of her story. Other than that, she was very relatable and sounds down to earth.

Chrishell didn’t disappoint loved listening!

I loved how humble and how inspiring she was throughout the book and how genuine she was about her family life struggles I think this book is good for anyone who needs a boost of motivation and inspiration I do think she could have gone a bit deeper into certain chapters of her life but overall she sounded genuine and very natural love you chrishell !

I love Chrishell more post-read, didn’t think that was possible.

I have known CS since she was Jessica on AMC, and really fell in love with her personality on SS, but this book .. this book made me appreciate her more than I already did. Her raw storytelling, her humour, and her ability to BE POSITIVE (B+ is an inside joke in the book!) in the face of tragedy, loss and trauma is a force like no other.

Chrishell, it your

A really nice light read

Chrishell is truly the girl next door whose experience makes you fall in love with her and adopt her level of humbleness. I read and listened to her book simultaneously and enjoyed every part of it. Plus, it helped reading this book while house hunting and helped my anxiety calm down too haha
